Definition and Usage

The slideDown() method gradually changes the height, for selected elements, from hidden to visible (slide effect).

Note: This effect works on elements hidden with jQuery (like fadeOut(), hide(), toggle(), etc.), and display:none in CSS (but not visibility:hidden).

Syntax

$(selector).slideDown(speed,callback)

Parameter Description
speed Optional. Specifies the speed of the slide effect. Default is "normal".

Possible values:

  • milliseconds (like 1500)
  • "slow"
  • "normal"
  • "fast"
callback Optional. A function to be executed after the slideDown() method is completed.
