Troubleshoot: JQuery stop() and clearQueue() Issue

[mat]

Hey guys,

Take a look at this site i’ve got in dev atm:
http://www.nwonline.co.uk/dev/regerme

On the right hand side you’ll see the Post Comment section. The problem I’m having is that if you double click the dropdown button, then the hiiden div actually opens and closes. Also if you click spam it then it will queue the animation and repeatedly play the toggle animation.

Now im using a toggle class to control the dropdown;

Code:

$(“a.expand”).click(function () {
$(“div.expand”).slideToggle(“slow”).clearQueue();
});

I’ve tried both .stop() and .clearQueue() and i cant get either to work.
If any of you guys could potentially help me out, it would of course be hugely appreciated!

For Chris
An article on the stop and queue functions in JQquery might be a good tutorial to show how they can be implemented with toggle, animate, slideup etc ?

Just a suggestion :-)

You can always try removing animated elements from the selector before running an animation.

Code:

$(“#something”).not(“:animated”).doAnimation();
