example of what I'm trying to do
I'm trying to expand and collapse a <div> by clicking some text inside the <div>. The behavior right now is very odd. For example, if I click the text after the <div> is expanded... the <div> will collapse and then expand again. Also, if I click somewhere inside the div after it is expanded, it will collapse again, and I think that is because I'm triggering the animation since the <div> being animated is inside the wrapper <div>. Here's the code:

$(function(){
// login box event handler
$('#login').click(function() {
$('#loginBox').toggle(
function() {
$('.loginBox').animate({
height: '150px'
},
'1000'
);
$('#username').show();
$('#password').hide();
$('#placeHolder').show();
},
function() {
$('.loginBox').animate({
height: '50px'
},
'1000'
);
$('#username').hide();
$('#password').hide();
$('#placeHolder').hide();
}
);
});
// username field focus and blur event handlers
$('#username').focus(function() {
if($(this).hasClass('placeHolder')){
$(this).val('');
$(this).removeClass('placeHolder');
}
});
$('#username').blur(function() {
if($(this).val() == '') {
$(this).val('Username');
$(this).addClass('placeHolder');
}
});
// password field focus and blur event handlers
$('#placeHolder').focus(function() {
$(this).hide();
$('#password').show();
$('#password').focus();
$('#password').removeClass('placeHolder');
});
$('#password').blur(function() {
if($(this).val() == '') {
$('#placeHolder').show();
$(this).hide();
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="loginBox" class="loginBox">
<a id="login" class="login">Proceed to Login</a><br />
<div>
<form>
<input type="text" id="username" class="placeHolder" value="Username" />
<input type="password" id="password" class="placeHolder" value="" />
<input type="text" id="placeHolder" class="placeHolder" value="Password" />
</form>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Any ideas?
Thanks, Hristo
