script.aculo.us BlindUp Effect

In this article, we will demonstrate the effect of Blind Up by using a JavaScript library called script.aculo.us. The BlindUp effect offers a smooth blinding transition to the element. We can also adjust the duration of this effect as well.

Syntax :

Effect.BlindUp('id_of_element');

// or

Effect.BlindUp('id_of_element', [options]);

Options:

  • duration: Duration take to fade the element, default value is 1.0.
  • scaleX: Boolean value, defaults to false.
  • scaleY: Boolean value, defaults to true.
  • scaleContent: Boolean value, defaults to true.
  • scaleFromCenter: Boolean value, defaults to false.
  • scaleFrom: Integer value defaults to 100.
  • scaleMode: Sets scaling mode with a string value, defaults to ‘box”.
  • scaleTo: Integer value defaults to 100.

Note: To use this library, we are supposed to install the library and then use it in our programs. And to do so, you can follow this link http://script.aculo.us/downloads.

Example 1: To demonstrate the use of this effect, we have written a small piece of code. In which we have written a small JavaScript function named ShowEffect method which uses BlindUp method of this library. By clicking on Click me to BlindUp the line! , you will see the effect clearly.

To see the effect, first install the library and then open this program in the local environment.
