Question

I want to do a slide down with jQuery, but I can’t find it anywhere.

I do not want it to scale as it slides
I do want it to perform this action ( click slide ), but vertically down, not horizontally right.

UPDATE :

So here’s the final functional code!

$(this).toggle(
    "slide", 
    {
        direction: 'up',
        duration: 'slow',
        easing: 'easeOutQuart'
    }
);

Read the API-Docs: http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Effects/Slide

You can Slide in every direction using the direction-option.

(I set the width/height of the image inside the sliding element to 100%, so you can see, the image is not scaled, it’s clipped, guess that’s what you are looking for)
