I have been using jquery to create some tabs. Here is my basic code.
I want to set it so the initial opening of the tab content is a slideToggle but then moving between tabs is a standard toggle then when the user clicks the item to close the items I want it to slideToggle again. So for instance.
Open Tab 1 - SlideToggle, move to Tab 2 - Toggle, move to Tab 3 - Toggle, move to Tab 2 - Toggle, close tab 2 - slideToggle
Is this possible and if so how can I achieve this. I have tried to google this but I can't seem to find the answer.
Thanks in advance for any help.
HTML
<div class="tab">Tab 1</div>
<div class="tab">Tab 2</div>
<div class="tab">Tab 3</div>
<div class="lrgWork"> Tab Content 1</div>
<div class="lrgWork"> Tab Content 2</div>
<div class="lrgWork"> Tab Content 3</div>
JS
$('.tab').click(function() {
var index = $(this).index();
$('.lrgWork').eq(index).slideToggle().siblings('.lrgWork').hide();
});
How about
var currentTabOpen=0;//keeps track of what tab is open
var tabOpen=false;//keeps track of whether a tab is opened
$('.tab').click(function() {
var index=$(this).index();
if(currentTabOpen==index||!tabOpen){//if we're either closing a tab, or opening one,
$('.lrgWork').eq(index).slideToggle();//use the slide animation
tabOpen=!tabOpen;//and now the tab is open if it was closed and vice versa
}
currentTabOpen=index;//make sure we're keeping track of the opened tab
$('.lrgWork').eq(index).show().siblings('.lrgWork').hide();//don't use the animation
});
and see here the working JSFiddle.
