I have the following code:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.toggle_section').click(function(e){
parent = $(e.target).closest("div")
objChild = parent.children('div');
$('.sectionContentId').hide(400);
$(objChild).toggle(400);
});
});
</script>
<br />
<div class="box" id="parent_section_1">
<strong>
<a class="toggle_section" href="javascript:;">New Section 1</a>
</strong>
<div class="sectionContentId" id="section_1" style="display: none">
<br />
Contents<br />for<br />section<br />1
</div>
</div>
<br />
<div class="box" id="parent_section_2">
<strong>
<a class="toggle_section" href="javascript:;">New Section 2</a>
</strong>
<div class="sectionContentId" id="section_2" style="display: none">
<br />
Contents<br />for<br />section<br />2
</div>
</div>
And example can be seen here
As you can see, what I'm trying to accomplish is that when you click on one of the links, all the other "already expanded sections" collapse, and the clicked section expand.
this works fine as it is, but obviously by using the logic:
$('.sectionContentId').hide(400);
$(objChild).toggle(400);
When I click one of the expanded sections in the attempt to close it, it closes briefly and opens again.
I wanna keep the same functionality, but wanna be able to open and close a section by clicking on a link, as well as when I'm opening a section, I wan't it to close everything before opening this new section.
I'm not sure I'm being very clear here, but by looking at the example, you will be able to understand better what I mean.
Thnks in advance
