Show / Hide behaves badly with <p> tags in .expand div about jquery-expander

[tillebeck]

That is not a bug but a feature :) Se example nr. 3 on the demo page specifically about block elements:

@tillebeck is right. The text is sliced at the appropriate point, and that is shown initially. When "expanded," that first, sliced, text is hidden while the entire content is shown.

@nomaddesign: If we're misunderstanding your report, feel free to re-open this issue or open another with an example of it failing.

Thanks!

Behavior with block element only:

-This works great -

Behavior with

tags inserted inside block element

Now the behavior changes dramatically. The text completely disappears and then reappears and starts expanding. The resulting animation is -jarring- and confusing to viewers because it appears the text has changed NOT expanded.

For now, my recommendation would be to use a different effect. Either fadeIn/fadeOut or show/hide. Sorry. :(
