Jquery slideToggle “bounces” multiple times on resize












1















I have a little problem with a simple jQuery script (I'm not an expert):



My requirements:



1) I have multiple elements that are made of
- a title
- a body



2) For a screen size > 768px, all the elements are visibile



3) For a screen size =< 768px I want to emulate the Bootstrap Collapse behavior, so when you click on the title, the "body" of the element, i.e. <div class="panel--collapsible" id="panel1"> becomes visible. The body of the element is not visible at the beginning by default.



I post here the code I wrote so far






$(document).ready(function() {
toggleDivOnMobile();
window.addEventListener('resize', function() {

toggleDivOnMobile();
});

});

function toggleDivOnMobile() {
$('.par-title--collapsible').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var currentAttrValue = $(this).attr('href');
var content = $(currentAttrValue);
if (window.outerWidth <= 768) {
content.slideToggle("slow");
}
});
return false;
}

.panel--collapsible {
display: none;
}

@media screen and (min-width:769px) {
.panel--collapsible {
display: block!important;
}
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="par1" class="collapsible">
<h2><a href="#panel1" class="par-title--collapsible">Title 1</a></h2>
<div class="panel--collapsible" id="panel1">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</p>
</div>
</div>

<div id="par2" class="collapsible">
<h2><a href="#panel2" class="par-title--collapsible">Title 2</a></h2>
<div class="panel--collapsible" id="panel2">
<p>Cuius et cetera</p>
</div>
</div>





My problem is: after resizing the window, the collapse works, but it "bounces" multiple times.



You can simulate the behavior by resizing the window.



Thank you for your help;of course if you need more information, write me a comment :)

          The problem is you're calling toggleDivOnMobile, which gets called at each window resize. By attaching your event handlers inside of that function, you end up getting multiple event handlers all trying to do the same thing, and they start fighting with each other.



          The solution would be to set some external variable and only attach your event listeners once, like so:



          var isMobile = false;

          $(document).ready(function() {
          toggleDivOnMobile();
          handleWindowResize();

          window.addEventListener('resize', function() {
          handleWindowResize();
          });
          });

          function handleWindowResize() {
          isMobile = window.outerWidth <= 768;
          }

          function toggleDivOnMobile() {
          $('.par-title--collapsible').click(function(e) {
          e.preventDefault();
          var currentAttrValue = $(this).attr('href');
          var content = $(currentAttrValue);
          if (isMobile) {
          content.slideToggle("slow");
          }
          });
          return false;
          }


          There are many other ways you can accomplish this, but that's a start. You can also look into the jQuery .off function if you wanted to dynamically add and remove event listeners based on the window size, but I wouldn't recommend that.



          EDIT



          You may also want to place the isMobile check in an external function, and call it on page load; a mobile browser (or any browser, really) won't trigger a resize event unless the browser is actually resized.

          • Sheng Slogar your answer is really good and almost perfect! :) the only drawback I found is that, as isMobile=false and changes only when resizing, if the initial window is already smaller than 768px, the toggle never works.

          • Sheng Slogar your answer is really good and almost perfect! :) the only drawback I found is that, as isMobile=false and changes only when resizing, if the initial window is already smaller than 768px, the toggle never works. It's easy to fix (I've already done) but I would ask you to update your answer to make it more complete, then I will gladly accept your answer. A big thank again

          • @RiccardoDeContardi I did note that in the first edit and assumed that would be sufficient (not relevant to original question). I've updated my answer. Glad you've got things working.

          The problem is you're calling toggleDivOnMobile, which gets called at each window resize. By attaching your event handlers inside of that function, you end up getting multiple event handlers all trying to do the same thing, and they start fighting with each other.



          The solution would be to set some external variable and only attach your event listeners once, like so:



          var isMobile = false;

          $(document).ready(function() {
          toggleDivOnMobile();
          handleWindowResize();

          window.addEventListener('resize', function() {
          handleWindowResize();
          });
          });

          function handleWindowResize() {
          isMobile = window.outerWidth <= 768;
          }

          function toggleDivOnMobile() {
          $('.par-title--collapsible').click(function(e) {
          e.preventDefault();
          var currentAttrValue = $(this).attr('href');
          var content = $(currentAttrValue);
          if (isMobile) {
          content.slideToggle("slow");
          }
          });
          return false;
          }


          There are many other ways you can accomplish this, but that's a start. You can also look into the jQuery .off function if you wanted to dynamically add and remove event listeners based on the window size, but I wouldn't recommend that.



          EDIT



          You may also want to place the isMobile check in an external function, and call it on page load; a mobile browser (or any browser, really) won't trigger a resize event unless the browser is actually resized.



          EDIT 2
