Nice try, but no prize yet...
Given these scripts:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myTextarea').hide();
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#hide').click(function() {
$('#myTextarea').unbind().slideUp();
return false;
});
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#show').click(function() {
$('#myTextarea').expandable().slideDown();
return false;
});
});
and this HTML:
<div style="padding-left:100px;">
<p>[ <strong>Notes concerning textarea</strong> ]
[ notes ]
[ <a id="hide" href="#">hide</a> ]
[ <a id="show" href="#">show</a> ]
[ export ]
[ clear ]
</p>
<textarea id="myTextarea" cols="100"></textarea>
</div>
Why wouldn't your idea work, Josh?
It makes sense to me.
I can click #show and #myTextarea becomes .expandable and executes .slideDown.
But, when I then click #hide and #myTextarea starts to execute .slideUp,
but then expands again, as it would if .expandable were still bound to it.
Should I code this differently?
Thanks,
Rick
