Toggle Blind Effect
- by flipflopmedia
Is there a way to alter this script to be used as the blind effect.
// Andy Langton's show/hide/mini-accordion - updated 23/11/2009
// Latest version @ http://andylangton.co.uk/jquery-show-hide
// this tells jquery to run the function below once the DOM is ready
$(document).ready(function() {
// choose text for the show/hide link - can contain HTML (e.g. an image)
var showText='';
var hideText='';
// initialise the visibility check
var is_visible = false;
// append show/hide links to the element directly preceding the element with a class of "toggle"
$('.toggle').prev().append(' '+showText+'');
// hide all of the elements with a class of 'toggle'
$('.toggle').hide();
// capture clicks on the toggle links
$('a.toggleLink').click(function() {
// switch visibility
is_visible = !is_visible;
// toggle the display - uncomment the next line for a basic "accordion" style
//$('.toggle').hide();$('a.toggleLink').html(showText);
$(this).parent().next('.toggle').toggle('slow');
// return false so any link destination is not followed
return false;
});
});
FYI-
Where it says:
var showText='';
var hideText='';
It was originally:
var showText='Show';
var hideText='Hide';
I deleted the Show/Hide Text because I am applying the link to different areas of text. I like the Blind effect, vs. this Toggle effect, and need to know how to apply it, if possible. I cannot find a basic Blind effect script that allows the use of applying the link to ANY text, vs. a button or static text.
Thanks! Hope you can help!
