You can still have slide by doing a plugin: $.fn.slide = function(dir) { if(!dir || dir == "leftright") this.animate({width:'toggle'}, "slow"); else if(dir == "updown") this.animate({height:'toggle'}, "slow"); }
$("#foo").slide("leftright"); $("#bar").slide("updown"); Infact maybe slideUp, slideDown and slideToggle should be deprecated in favour of a .slide method (something for 1.2)? $("#foo").slide("width", "toggle", "slow"); $("#foo2").slide("width", "show", "slow"); $("#bar").slide("height", "toggle", "slow"); $("#bar2").slide("height", "show", "slow"); You can probably use .animate() for something like this, but shortcuts can be far better (especially if they are used a lot) - slightly more jQuery code, but less overall code.
