I need to unset the state of the jQuery .toggle(odd,even)

Question

Hi

I have items in a table cell that gets toggled on and off.

An external button accepts a click and submits the selected cell values via ajax.

The problem is that I want to reset the toggle state for the selected cells.

I can easily unset the highlighting, but then need a double click to trigger the correct toggle.

Can the .toggle(odd, even) be reset or cycled via an external call?

Thanks

Answer 1

.toggle() is the same as alternating between .show() and .hide() so just call .show() or .hide() depending on what the desired "reset" state is.

if you are using .toggle() to cycle through handlers then just unbind and rebind the toggle event.

Answer 2

I have not tested but, could it be done like this?

//reset the toggle state<br>
      $('#tablecell').unbind('click').toggle(fn1, fn2);<br>
      $('#tablecell').toggle(fn1, fn2);

I eventually solved this by selecting the already toggled list of elements.

I then call a .click on it.

Which seems like a bit of a workaround, but since I can't trigger the state of toggle. I settled for this.
