slide() gives me error - jQuery

Question

Hello,

Why does this slide() gives the error

$(this).hide("slide", { direction: "down" }, 1000);

Error: Message: Object doesn't support this property or method Thanks Jean

Answer 1

Make sure to include jQuery UI in the page so you have the slide effect, for example:

• Without jQuery UI, broken: http://jsfiddle.net/Y2x2w/
• With jQuery UI, working: http://jsfiddle.net/Y2x2w/1/

Answer 2

The hide() function only accepts two arguments, duration and callback if you are using only the jquery library. Long story short - make sure you have the UI library loaded as well.
