SlideDown function not working onload (Scriptaculous)
Hi everyone.
I have a page where I am setting animation orders using an onload function (as seen below). On load, the page fades in, I am then wanting to have "slidedown_demo" slide down in the "header div".
I have tried using the same code I have used for Fade and Appear and had no luck. If I tell the script to slidedown all the content instead of "appear" all the content it slides down however I can not make this one little div slide into it's position. The onclick test button that I have within the main paragraphs work but not when I attempt to use the onload feature that brings the rest of the content into view.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please ask if further clarification is required.
Richard.

Your version does achieve the SlideDown effect however I am unable to set the delay times and it only seems to work if I link to http://demo.script.aculo.us/, if I link to the scriptaculous files locally it just flashes up the SlideDemo div.
Firstly I am wondering what you changed to make the SlideDemo div slidedown as it appears to be the same markup I posted except for the linking to the scriptaculous files and secondly with your version if you know why I would not be able to set the delay timing?
Any help or clarification on this will be greatly appreciated.

I have an example here: http://www.midcompodyssey.com/test7/test.html
This is using the code above and as you can see, everything animates itself in at the same time.

Not a problem, I guess until the bug is resolved I will have to use the Appear effect. Not to mater. Thank you very much for your effort and taking the time to report the bug, it's very much appreciated.
Although not resolved, I'm sure it will be sometime in the future and considering you have done all the work it would be unfair not to award you the points regardless of a resolution or not.
Thank you again and keep up the awesome work.
