jQuery comes with three handy methods to create the sliding effect easily.

  1. slideUp() – Hide the matched elements with slide up effect.
  2. slideDown() – Display the matched elements with slide down effect.
  3. slideToggle() – If the matched element is displayed, it will hide with a slide up effect; if hidden, it will display with a slide down effect.

Above three methods are support duration as parameter : slow, fast, or exact milliseconds. If this parameter is omitted, the default 400 milliseconds is apply.
