slideDown from display: none

[john]

When revelaing a fieldset that starts out as display: none, it gives an instanteous flickr (height should probably be set to 0 before animation begins?)

I have also noticed a flicker, on FF only both Mac and Windows, when using the slideDown() on an element that has the CSS display property set to none. You can see this flicker on the ThickBox demo page when a ThickBox is opened.

I confirm this bug. It also seems to "flicker" in (@ end of animation).

Here's some example HTML: <div style="position: relative; width: 100%; z-index: 1;">

<a id="personalize" href="#">{t}Add Personalization{/t}</a> <div id="selectField" style="z-index: 2; display: none; position: absolute; top: -5px; left: -5px; width: 90%; background-color: #e6eaff; padding: 7px; border: 1px solid;">

filler... filler <br> filler... filler (to slide up/down) <br>

</div>

</div>

and the JAVASCRIPT:

$("#personalize").click(function() {

$("#selectField").slideDown('slow'); return false; });

<span style="font-weight: bold;">{t}Add Personalization{/t}: </span> <span class="pommoHelp"> {t}Filler{/t} </span> <hr style="clear: both;">

</div>

Some other ODD behaviour -->

If you run slideUp() on an element. Then run it again (run slide up on an element twice), slideDown() will cease to function. On the other hand, you can run multiple times on an element and a call to slideUp() will still function as normal.

This problem has been resolved and is in SVN.
