JQuery - Slide Example

I want to perform a simple slide motion on an HTML element. JQuery is already available on the site in question so the next logical step for me was to look at their documentation.

JQuery - Slide down

When I check out their demo however, it doesn't seem to be functioning. In firebug they have an error;

missing ) after argument list
wyciwyg://0/http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Effects/Slide
Line 18

Whilst the error seems simple, I can't work out how to correct it (On thier site by editing th开发者_JS百科e JS). On my own site using the same example an error is found in the JQuery 1.4.2 script itself;

jQuery.easing[specialEasing || defaultEasing] is not a function
file:///home/gav/ee-workspaces/web/site/php/jquery-1.4.2.js
Line 5854

I don't mean to sound lazy / rude but what's going on? Is the JQuery site and newest release actually broken, I doubt it, what am I doing wrong? I'm a CS grad with no real web dev experience so I'm not used to this method of debugging, where should I start with this?

Thanks,

Gav

Look here for a working example.

I had this error

jQuery.easing[specialEasing || defaultEasing] is not a function
file:///home/gav/ee-workspaces/web/site/php/jquery-1.4.2.js
Line 5854

with jquery-1.4.2.js.

The simple solution is to replace your jquery include with:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>

Or the latest version of Jquery available; http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js
