I'm trying to add a row to a table and have that row slide into view, however the slidedown function seems to be adding a display:block style to the table row which messes up the layout.
Any ideas how to work around this?
Here's the code:
$.get('/some_url',
{ 'val1': id },
function (data) {
var row = $('#detailed_edit_row');
row.hide();
row.html(data);
row.slideDown(1000);
}
);
I simply wrap the tr dynamically then remove it once the slideUp/slideDown has complete. It's a pretty small overhead adding and removing one or a couple of tags and then removing them once the animation is complete, I don't see any visible lag at all doing it.
SlideUp:
$('#my_table > tbody > tr.my_row')
.find('td')
.wrapInner('<div style="display: block;" />')
.parent()
.find('td > div')
.slideUp(700, function(){
$(this).parent().parent().remove();
});
SlideDown:
$('#my_table > tbody > tr.my_row')
.find('td')
.wrapInner('<div style="display: none;" />')
.parent()
.find('td > div')
.slideDown(700, function(){
var $set = $(this);
$set.replaceWith($set.contents());
});
I have to pay tribute to fletchzone.com as I took his plugin and stripped it back to the above.
