Again me with my fiddle. If you click on the item in this fiddle, it will slide open to a specific height.
The fiddle shows the section with some "summary text" (like a preview to the full loaded text when you click to open it).
The intention will be, that I load the "full message" while clicking the item and then sliding it open only that long how far the content is reaching.
My first thought would be:
- Click, loading in full text via AJAX or sth. else
- Putting this full text into a hidden container
- get the height of the hidden container
- hide "summary text" container, show "full text" container
- scroll up to the measured height
- Profit.
Well, this would work, I guess. But my programmer's senses tell me that this is the wrong way to do it. I don't know how long the "long text" will be, so it may be just a few lines, but it can also be a whole essay.
So which method would be the best to slide that <section> open as long as it's content goes?
As the closed <section> has a fixed height, it won't be that hard to close it again.
