Thaks Liam, Unfortunately it will hold dynamic content from a database so I don't know the height and can't explicitly set it. (although I did try it and that did solve the problem)
I'm wondering if it might be possible to get the height using a more reliable method and then set it explicitly before calling slideUp? Anyone else solved this problem?
