I’m creating simple page with a <header>
and a <section>
. In the section
I have 3 divs and I am positioning them with display: flex;
and justify-content: space-between
.
The problem is that I also use JS slideToggle()
on two of them (extreme ones). It is changing the layout of my center div after they are going up. How can I do it so that my center div doesn’t change position after one of the others is slid up?
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#playlist').click(function() {
$('#nav').slideToggle();
});
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#songs').click(function() {
$('#listSongs').slideToggle();
});
});
section {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
#listSongs {
margin-top: 50px;
height: 550px;
background-color: black;
border-radius: 5px;
font-size: 25px;
width: 200px;
}
#listSongs p {
margin-top: 5px;
width: 200px;
text-align: center;
overflow: hidden;
height: 35px;
line-height: 50px;
color: white;
}
#player {
color: red;
}
#nav {
margin-top: 50px;
height: 550px;
background-color: black;
border-radius: 20px;
width: 200px;
}
.hidden {
margin-top: 50px;
height: 550px;
background-color: black;
border-radius: 20px;
width: 200px;
visibility: hidden;
}
#nav p {
text-align: center;
}
#nav ul {
list-style-type: none;
text-align: left;
}

The issue is because when the
slideUp
/slideDown
/slideToggle
methods complete, they setdisplay: none
on the target element. This is what causes the layout of your page to shift.To workaround, and improve the animation, you can use CSS instead. Use the
transition
property to animate theheight
setting. Then you can toggle a class which setsheight: 0
on the target element. Try this:Note that I also rearranged some of the CSS to make it more generic with less repetition.
