Toggle show/hide with jQuery

Question

( function( $ ) {

var $f = $;

$('.entry-content').hide();

$f(function(){
        $f(".entry-title" ).toggle(
            function() {
                $f(this).parents(".post").children('.entry-content').slideUp('fast');
            },
            function() {
                $f(this).parents(".post").children('.entry-content').slideDown('fast');
            }
        );
});

} )( jQuery );

JSFIDDLE

Pretty basic I guess but, I would like to click on the .entry-title links to display the content with the .entry-content class. However, it seems I have to click on the link two times for the content to expand. Why is this and how can this be fixed? Not sure what I am doing wrong here.

Also, is there a way to close the previously opened div when another one opens? Sort of like an accordion.

Answer 1

Use slideToggle() for toggle between them.

toggle event was deprecated in jQuery 1.8 and removed in jQuery 1.9 .

var $ele = $('.entry-content').hide(); // hide initially
$(".entry-title").click(function(e) { // bind click event handler
  e.preventDefault(); // prevent default click event handler
  var $ele1 = $(this).parents(".post").children('.entry-content').slideToggle('fast'); // toggle the animation
  $ele.not($ele1).slideUp(); // slide up remaining
});

Answer 2

This JSFiddle shows working code, it's up to you if you want to add ID's or make use of classes instead or add the code you had (something about parent-child relationship), but this is the basic to make such slide work:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".entry-content").hide();
  $(".entry-title").click(function() {
    if ($(".entry-content").is(":hidden")) {
      $(".entry-content").slideDown();
    } else {
      $(".entry-content").slideUp();
    }
  });
  return false;
  /* or e.preventDefault(); */
});

Answer 3

Just change your function like this:

$f(".entry-title" ).toggle(
            function() {
                $f(this).parents(".post").children('.entry-content').slideDown('fast');
            },
            function() {
                $f(this).parents(".post").children('.entry-content').slideUp('fast');
            }
        );

It will work.
