[Wikia-l] ShowHide

[Daniel Friesen]

Just thought I'd let everyone know I rewrote the ShowHide (Wikipedia's 
collapsible tables and NavFrame code) to make use of jQuery which Wikia 
is now using.

The resulting code is around 100 lines shorter than the WP code 
(basically half the size), supports the "collapsed" class in BOTH 
collapsible tables and NavFrame (The code being circulated around Wikia 
doesn't seam to support individual pre-collapsed NavFrames), works with 
whatever elements you want it to (NavFrame can work on things other than 
just divs), and loads quickly unlike the original WP code (jQuery's 
ready event is more reliable than MediaWiki's built in addOnloadHook 
which sometimes can actually end up being called considerably late in 
comparison; I tested using MW's onload and jQuery's onload on separate 
types of show/hide and jQuery fired considerably earlier than the MW 
code which fired quite late after the page was already loaded).

The code is available on the dev wiki and can be easily included into 
any wiki using the short snippet: |importScriptPage('ShowHide/code.js', 
'dev');|
