Question

I realized the solution to this problem while I was creating the documentation to ASK this question…so I am posting the answer if for no other reason than to keep me from wasting time on this in the future

Answer 1

toggle() is pretty buggy at times, i’ve had it do odd things to checkmarks (unchecking them) and other assorted issues. i’d suggest just handling it using a click event, much less minor annoyances. and this way, you don’t have to worry about what state #lowerDiv is in in the first place:

$('#upperDiv').click(function() {     $('#lowerDiv').animate({         'opacity' : 'toggle',     }); });
