change slideToggle() behaviour to display:inline-block instead of display:block?

my target slideToggle() div needs to be display:inline-block instead of display:block when it's open. Is there a way to change the jquery behavior here?

Edit:

i'm using jQuery 1.7.0 at the moment. Also, the <div> is initially at display:none and should expand to display:inline-block after a click on a link; but apparently the default state for slideToggle() in this situation is display:block ...

I suggest the following trick. It will allow you to use a class for "hidden" while avoiding any flashes due to layout change happening prematurely or belatedly.

(using display:flex with direction:row to make it clear that it's displayed as flex and not as block)

function toggle() {
  let elem = $(".component")
  if (elem.hasClass("hidden")) {
    elem.css("display", "none");
    elem.removeClass("hidden");
  }
  elem.slideToggle(200);
}
.component {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
}

.hidden {
  display: none;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<a href="#" class="toggle" onclick="toggle();">toggle this</a>
<div class="component hidden">
  <div>item1</div>
  <div>item2</div>
</div>

I needed the display:flex for reordering elements with the order property. Changing to display:flex worked but it had to wait for the animation to complete to rearrange the elements, so there was a moment where everything looked clearly disordered.

What did the trick for me was using the start option (see doc):

$("your-selector").slideToggle({
  duration: 200,
  easing: "easeOutQuad",
  start: function() {
    jQuery(this).css('display','flex');
  }
});

A little birdie told me...

$('#my-block').slideToggle('medium', function() {
    if ($(this).is(':visible'))
        $(this).css('display','inline-block');
});

Just try to hide your block via scripts (dont display:none via styles)

HTML

<div class="ib">inline-block</div> <a href="#" class="toggle">toggle this</a>

CSS

.ib{
    display:inline-block;
    background:red;
}

JavaScript

$(".ib").hide();
$(".toggle").bind("click", function(){
    $(".ib").slideToggle();
    return false;
})

example

If you find yourself seeing an unwanted "Flash of Unstyled Content" you could also use an inline style. The usual wisdom of "don't put style inline" is really meant for your main styling, not for visual effects (JS effects all just add inline styles after all).

Of course, the content won't be seen by JS-disabled search engine spiders, if that's important. If it's not important, you're good!

Are you on an old version of jQuery? This should have been fixed already, see discussion here:
