[jQuery] Re: jQuery 1.1.4: Faster, More Tests, Ready for 1.2

You can still have slide by doing a plugin:

$.fn.slide = function(dir) {
  if(!dir || dir == "leftright") this.animate({width:'toggle'},
"slow");
  else if(dir == "updown") this.animate({height:'toggle'}, "slow");
}

$("#foo").slide("leftright");
$("#bar").slide("updown");

Infact maybe slideUp, slideDown and slideToggle should be deprecated
in favour of a .slide method (something for 1.2)?

$("#foo").slide("width", "toggle", "slow");
$("#foo2").slide("width", "show", "slow");
$("#bar").slide("height", "toggle", "slow");
$("#bar2").slide("height", "show", "slow");

You can probably use .animate() for something like this, but shortcuts
can be far better (especially if they are used a lot) - slightly more
jQuery code, but less overall code.
