instead of using this:


$("#checkme").click(function(){
  // If checked
  if ($("#checkme").is(":checked")) {
    //show the hidden div
    $("#extra").show("fast");
  } else {     
    //otherwise, hide it
    $("#extra").hide("fast");
  }
});

you can simply use:


$("#checkme").click(function(){
  $("#extra").toggle();
});

Hi!

Great! This is just what I need for a project! =)

Just 1 question, though…

suppose you have 2 checkboxes, and want to only show one of them. For ex, option A and option B, and I want to do it so that whenever any option is selected, the other checkbox is disabled, so that only one checkbox can be checked.

How could I do this?

Thanks!

Cheers from Cancun,Mexico! =)

Thanks. As an additional observation, using slideDown and slideUp or simply slideToggle can also achieve a desired effect. It sometimes plays smoother without bumping elements around it.
