show() hide() enable() disable()

should have a parameter to set state as show(field,false,false) will hide field...

Is this for Editor? There are field().show() and field().enable() methods which can be chained together - e.g.:

editor.field('myField').show().enable();

Hi @allan

Sorry it was not the suggestion...

src code :

if (bool) 
    editor.field('fld').show()
else
    editor.field('fld').hide()

// why not allow 
    editor.field('fld').show(false) 
// or 
    editor.field('fld').visible(bool)

that should allow simple one line code

Ah - a toggle parameter! I'm with you now - thanks. I've just committed that in :-).

The field().show() method already has a boolean input to control the animation, so the new toggle parameter is the second parameter for the method. This will be in the next major version of Editor.

Hi @allan

Very nice...

Same approach for enable disable ?

Can you tell me when we will start alpha testing ?

Hi (again)

Perhaps a global preset for animation when show, hide should be nice....

If using animation, easy, if not each show / hide need to be set to false at second parameter, and when editor.hide() or editor.show() where to pass second parameter ?

Hi Bob,

Yes, I’ve put a toggle parameter into the field().enable() method as well.

Regarding the animation, you can use $.fx.off = true; to disable jQuery animations. I think attempting to use a boolean parameter to mean two different things is going to be confusing though.

I forgot to say, I will hopefully have a beta for you next week.
