jQuery Sliding Effects: slideDown, slideToggle, and slideUp

jQuery Sliding Effects: slideDown, slideToggle, and slideUp

jQuery provides several methods for creating sliding effects on your web elements. These methods include .slideDown(), .slideToggle(), and .slideUp(). Each of these methods allows you to animate elements with a sliding effect, enhancing the user experience on your website.

.slideDown()

The .slideDown() method displays the matched elements with a sliding effect. It is used to reveal hidden content with a smooth animation.

Example:

$('#clickme').click(function() {
    $('#imageNew').slideDown('slow', function() {
        // Animation complete.
    });
});

.slideToggle()

The .slideToggle() method is used to either display or hide the matched element with a sliding effect. It toggles the visibility of the element, showing it if it is hidden and hiding it if it is visible.

.slideUp()

The .slideUp() method hides the element with a sliding effect. It is useful for collapsing or hiding content with an animation.

Example (for slideToggle() & slideUp()):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>jQuery SlideToggle Example</title>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    $(function() {
        $("#click_here").click(function(event) {
            event.preventDefault();
            $("#div1").slideToggle();
        });

        $("#div1 a").click(function(event) {
            event.preventDefault();
            $("#div1").slideUp();
        });
    });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <input type="button" id="click_here" value="Click Here">
    <div id="div1">
        <a href="#" class="close">[x]</a>
        <p>
            This window displays because the button click fires slideToggle event, which slides up the window. CLICK ON [X] TO SLIDE UP/CLOSE THE WINDOW.
        </p>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Handling Change Events in jqGrid

Handling Change Events in jqGrid In this tutorial, we'll explore how to handle the change event in jqGrid to dynamically update another column based on the selected value. This approach is useful when you need to update related data based on user selections. Example Scenario Let's say we have a jqGrid table with two columns: Country and State. When the user selects a country, the State column should dynamically update to show the relevant states for the selected country. Implementation We'll use the dataEvents option in the colModel configuration to handle the change event. HTML Structure First, let's set up our basic HTML structure: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>H...

Handling Row Selection in jqGrid with jQuery

Handling Row Selection in jqGrid with jQuery The example below specifies the action to take when a row is selected in a jqGrid: var lastSel; jQuery("#gridid").jqGrid({ ... onSelectRow: function(id) { if(id && id !== lastSel) { jQuery('#gridid').restoreRow(lastSel); lastSel = id; } jQuery('#gridid').editRow(id, true); }, ... }); Explanation This script sets up a jqGrid with a custom action for when a row is selected. Here’s a step-by-step explanation: var lastSel; : A variable to store the last selected row ID. jQuery("#gridid").jqGrid({ ... }); : Initializes the jqGrid on the element with ID gridid . onSelectRow: function(id) { ... } : Defines a function to execute when a row is selected. ...

Persisting jqGrid State with Cookies

Persisting jqGrid State with Cookies jqGrid is an excellent jQuery plugin for displaying a grid. To enhance user experience, we added some filter possibilities and used jQuery to update the URL where data was fetched from. However, when users navigated away from the grid and returned, it would reset to its start position, losing any filtering or sorting they had set. To solve this, we needed to store the user's selections. Here are two JavaScript functions that achieve this using cookies: function saveGridToCookie(name, grid) { var gridInfo = new Object(); name = name + window.location.pathname; gridInfo.url = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'url'); gridInfo.sortname = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'sortname'); gridInfo.sortorder = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'sortorder'); gridInfo.selrow = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selro...
