The jQuery slideToggle() function causes motion

One of my web elements utilizes slideToggle to display/hide a table.

This functionality is achieved using jQuery

$("#featMoreInfo").click(function() {    
    $("#featben2").slideToggle('slow');
    var txt = $(this).text() == '+ More Info' ? '- Minimize' : '+ More Info';
    $(this).text(txt);
});
$("#featMoreInfo2").click(function() {
    $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow');
    $("#featben2").slideToggle('slow');
    $("#featMoreInfo").text('+ More Info');
});

Additionally, there are javascript tooltips in some columns which experience alignment issues on occasion when clicking the + More Info button. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

Answer №1

There is a well-known issue with jQuery that causes problems with calculating the correct height of table rows and cells. This can lead to instability in certain effects, making them unsuitable for production use.

In one project, I encountered this bug and had to opt for a different effect due to its unpredictability. However, I came across a helpful answer from user spankmaster79 on Stack Overflow that provided a possible solution worth exploring. jQuery slideToggle jump on close
