I have this simple JavaScript code that is supposed to side a div in and a div out. it is working perfectly when it comes to sliding in. By working perfectly is sliding the div easily. However when you click slideout the div just disappears from the browser. I don’t know why and I cant find a fault. My code is here
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<script>
function slideIt()
{
var stopPosition = 50;
var slidingDiv = "";
slidingDiv = document.getElementById("d3");
if (parseInt(slidingDiv.style.left) < stopPosition )
{
slidingDiv.style.left = parseInt(slidingDiv.style.left) + 2 + "px";
setTimeout(slideIt, 1);
}
}
function slideOut()
{
var startPosition =-150;
var slidingDiv = "";
slidingDiv = document.getElementById("d4");
if (parseInt(slidingDiv.style.left) > startPosition )
{
slidingDiv.style.left = parseInt(slidingDiv.style.left) - 2 + "px";
setTimeout(slideOut(), 1);
}
}
</script>
<div id="d1" onclick="slideIt();">Slide in</div>
<div id="d2" onclick="slideOut();">Slide out</div>
<div id="d3" style="position: absolute; left:-150px; top:300px" >horizontally sliding div</div>
<div id="d4" style="position: absolute; left:150px; top:300px">horizontally sliding div</div>
</body>
</html>
You don’t need to invoke
slideOutin the second timeout. Remove the parentheses.Here is a demonstration: http://jsfiddle.net/cctqf/
