<button> text disappears when using jQuery slideUp()/slideDown()

Question

I have 3 sections on a form which slideDown() when a checkbox is checked and slideUp() when the checkbox is unchecked.

In one part of the form i'm using a simple button to run a function.

If I uncheck the checkbox to slide the content up and then recheck it to slide the content back down again, the text in the button disappears and leaves me with a tiny button, which still works, but will not inform the user of what it does.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Richard

Answer 1

Ok, so in my function to slide the content up I had the following line:

$("#" + section + " :input").val("");

It turns out that this not only clears the obvious fields, text etc, it also wipes out the button text.

I simply changed this line of code to:

$("#" + section + " :input[type='text']").val("");

Thanks for your prompt replies!
