How to create sliding DIV on click?
Making use jQuery's slideToggle()
method could help you do this.
Example
HTML:
<div id="contact">
Contact me!
</div>
<a href="#" id="toggle">Contact</a>
CSS:
#contact
{
display: none;
background: grey;
color: #FFF;
padding: 10px;
}
JavaScript:
$(function()
{
$("a#toggle").click(function()
{
$("#contact").slideToggle();
return false;
});
});
yet another sample, but without jquery, and with a class add/remove approach :)

The main idea is that you have two classes, one of them applies to the slider, and the another, says how the slider should show when it is expanded.
.slider {
height: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
transition: height 0.5s ease;
-moz-transition: height 0.5s ease;
-ms-transition: height 0.5s ease;
-o-transition: height 0.5s ease;
-webkit-transition: height 0.5s ease;
}
.slided {
height: 100px;
}
so, you have to set the 'slided' class to the slider when it has to be expanded, and remove it when the slider has to be shrinked, and using the super-mega-uber-awesome css transition, the height will smoothly change :)
var expander = document.getElementById("expander");
expander.addEventListener("click", function () {
var slider = document.getElementsByClassName("slider")[0];
if (slider.classList.contains("slided")) {
slider.classList.remove("slided");
} else {
slider.classList.add("slided");
}
});
ohbtw, the html:
<div class="slider">i am teh slidah!! :D</div>
<div class="content">and i am the content XD</div>
<div id="expander">click me to expand/hide the slidah! :O</div>
If you don't want to use jQuery and you can stick to modern browsers you can try:
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/ThinkingStiff/EVyE8/
HTML:
<div id="slide">click me</div>
CSS:
#slide {
height: 50px;
transition: height 500ms ease;
-moz-transition: height 500ms ease;
-ms-transition: height 500ms ease;
-o-transition: height 500ms ease;
-webkit-transition: height 500ms ease;
}
Script:
document.getElementById( 'slide' ).addEventListener( 'click', function() {
this.style.height == '50px' || this.style.height == ''
? this.style.height = '150px'
: this.style.height = '50px';
}, false );
