? jQuery Slide Effects Tutorial

? Quick Overview

jQuery provides slideUp(), slideDown(), and slideToggle() methods to animate elements vertically for smooth show and hide effects.

? Key Concepts

Vertical sliding animations
Built-in duration handling
Callback execution after animation

? Syntax / Theory

Slide methods animate the height of elements to create smooth transitions without manually handling CSS.

? Code Examples

Slide me up and down!

? View Code Example

// Basic slide effects
$("#slideBox").slideUp();
$("#slideBox").slideDown();
$("#slideBox").slideToggle();

? Slide with Duration and Callback

You can control animation speed and execute functions after the animation completes.

Slide slowly with callback.

// Slide with duration and callback
