Hi all! I like jQuery a lot and have used it in couple projects now. But one thing I really don't get is the "slideUp" and "slideDown" functions. Why can't I decide which way the animation goes?? I really think they (the functions) should be more generic. While browsing the road map for jQuery 1.2 I saw the Relative Animations section which is exactly what I want. It would be obvious if slideUp/slideDown uses this new method but wouldn't be nice if there where a shorthand to achieve this? I propose slideUp/slideDown(string/number, string direction); where direction can be "up", "right", "down" or "left". For now I'll settle with animate and some CSS mumbo jumbo.
Anyway, thanks for your time - you took to read this :-)
