jQuery toggle and IF visible

Question

I have a div which contains settings and options on an account management page.

$(\"#moreOptions\").slideToggle(\'slow\');
if ($(\"#moreOptions\").is(\":visible\         


        

Answer 1

You need to use the callback function. By the time the if statement is evaluated the slideToggle will not have completed and you will get incorrect results.

$("#moreOptions").slideToggle('slow', callbackFn);

function callbackFn(){

     var $link = $("#lnkMoreOpt");

     $(this).is(":visible") ? $link.text("Less Options «") : $link.text("More Options »");


}
