JQuery: How to determine if Slide event is up or down?

Question

I have the following code:

$('a.btn-slide').toggle(function() {
    $("#DivToSlide").slideUp("fast");
    // ...
}, function() {
    $("#DivToSlide").slideDown("fast");
    // ...
});

Later in my code, I want to find out if #DivToSlide is in either the up or down position.

How do I do that?

Answer 1

Since the slideDown function hides the element after it finishes, you can simply check whether the element is visible:

if ($('#DivToSlide').is(':visible'))

You could also check whether $('#DivToSlide').height() is more than some threshold.
