jQuery Collapse

A lightweight plugin for enabling expandable/collapsible content.

• Packaged with cookie support (yum yum!)
• Lightweight (655 bytes minified and gzipped)
• ARIA compliant

Enjoy!

Usage

HTML:

<div id="demo">
    <h3>Fruits</h3>
    <ul>
        <li>Apple</li>
        <li>Pear</li>
        <li>Orange</li>
    </ul>
    <h3>Info</h3>
    <div>
        <p>You can use any container you like (in this case a div)</p>
    </div>
</div>

JavaScript:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.collapse.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.cookie.js"></script> <!-- If you want cookie support -->
<script>
$(function() {
    $("#demo").collapse();
});
</script>

Note: If you're using the plugin on different pages on the same domain, you'll have to have a unique cookie name for each instance to avoid conflict. Use the "cookie" option to set a unique cookie name.

Options

• show (function) : Custom function for showing content (default: function(){ this.show() })
• hide (function) : Custom function for hiding content (default: function(){ this.hide() })
• head (string) : Elements for clickable headings (default: "h3")
• group (string): Elements containing the collapsable content (default: "ul, div")
• cookieName (string) : Name of cookie used in the plugin. (default: "collapse")
