make div box shrink and grow with show and hide

Hi

I am currently building a website for a client and within the search form, I have more options which is a link that shows and hides more options to search by and it works perfect but I want the div box to shrink and grow when the more options link is clicked

my coding for the html and javascript is below

Code:

---

<a onclick ="javascript:ShowHide('HiddenDiv')" href="javascript:;" >More Options</a>
<button class="ui-button ui-button-big js-submit"><?php _e("Search", 'bender');?></button>
<br />

<div class="mid" id="HiddenDiv" style="DISPLAY: none" >
<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 0 10px;">
                <?php $doors = Params::getParam('doors') ; ?>
      <input style="width:20px;" type="radio" name="doors" value="3" id="3" <?php if($doors == '3') { echo 'checked="yes"'; } ?>/> <label for="3"><?php _e('3 Doors', 'cars_attributes'); ?></label>
      <input style="width:20px;" type="radio" name="doors" value="4" id="4" <?php if($doors == '4') { echo 'checked="yes"'; } ?>/> <label for="4"><?php _e('4 Doors', 'cars_attributes'); ?></label>
                  </div>
       
                <input type="text" id="engine_size" name="engine_size" style="float: left;" placeholder="Engine Size"/>
       
        <input type="text" name="extColr" id="extColr" style="float: left;" placeholder="Colour"/>
        </div>


<script language="JavaScript">
function ShowHide(divId)
{
if(document.getElementById(divId).style.display == 'none')
{
document.getElementById(divId).style.display='block';
}
else
{
document.getElementById(divId).style.display = 'none';
}
}
</script>

---

The CSS is below

Code:

---

.main-search {
        background-color: #f0f0f0;
        background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #f0f0f0), color-stop(100%, #c9c9c9));
        background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #f0f0f0, #c9c9c9);
        background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #f0f0f0, #c9c9c9);
        background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #f0f0f0, #c9c9c9);
        background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #f0f0f0, #c9c9c9);
        background-image: linear-gradient(top, #f0f0f0, #c9c9c9);
        width: 892px;
        padding: 6px;
        height: 138px;
        border: solid 1px #989393;
        margin: 0 auto;
        box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 1px 0px #fff, 0px 2px 2px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
        position: relative;
        margin-top: 15px;
        border-top-left-radius: 4px;
        border-bottom-left-radius: 4px;
        border-top-right-radius: 4px;
        border-bottom-right-radius: 4px
}

---

I believe it is to do with the height: 138px line but not 100% but have tried min-height, max-height, no height, height: auto and nothing seems to work

Please help as can't see where I am going wrong with it

Thank you in advance

The css you've posted doesn't appear to be applied to any of the markup above (I can't see an element with that class).

If you need more help, please provide a link to your page.

Hi vwphilips

Thank you the coding etc, appreciate it

I tried the coding and the grey box still does not shrink and grow when click the more options link

Might I suggest something like this http://fofwebdesign.co.uk/template/_...ss-ani-div.htm

The addClass() javascript function adds a class of "show" to the div with id "box" in the example, although you can specify any id to target via the 1st parameter, and any class to be added via the second parameter onclick="addClass('idToTarget, 'classToAdd')"

The addition of the new class allows you to change the style of the element with css - here I am using css to animate the max-height of the hidden box from 0 to 150px when the "show" class is added.

A second click removes the added "show" class (actually this demo removes all classes so be careful with that).

Maybe you could use the same method for your search box.?
