Question

In jQuery, I know that we can pass true or false value to the function to toggle visibility of an element. I can’t get slideToggle to do the same thing. Any help please?

For example, instead of:

if (true)
    $('something').slideDown();
else
    $('something').slideUp();

I would really like to do something similar to:

$('something').toggle(myBoolValue);

But I want to do it with slideToggle.

Look at my example of jsfiddle to know what I am trying to do.

Is that possible?

Answer 1

slideToggle optionally takes 2 parameters duration and a callback so passing true/false to show/hide will not work. You might have to write your own plugin which will implement this logic. Something like this

$.fn.mySllideToggle = function(show){
   if(show){
      $(this).slideDown();
   }
   else{
      $(this).slideUp();
   }
}
