Thanks for your comment! For some reason I never think to use the ternary operator - good tip. I’ll also check out the toggle() function. Still got quite a bit of reading to do to be completely up to speed on Jquery, but I’m loving the experience so far!

Cheers,

The following snippet
if($(”li:not(:first)”).is(”:visible”)){
$(”li:not(:first)”).fadeOut(”fast”);
}else{
$(”li:not(:first)”).fadeIn(”fast”);
}
would read better as

var listItems = $(”li:not(:first)”);
listItems.is(”:visible”) ? listItems.fadeOut(”fast”) : listItems.fadeIn(”fast”);

small improvement but good for performance and readability

However even better would be to make use of the toggle() function

so you can say

$(”li.starter”).toggle(
function(){
$(”li:not(:first)”).fadeIn(”fast”);
},
function(){
$(”li:not(:first)”).fadeOut(”fast”);
}
);

Now each click will toggle between the two given functions.

Happy jqueing
