This plugin extends jQuery's built-in .show() method. If jQuery UI is not loaded, calling the .show() method may not fail directly, as the method still exists. However, the expected behavior will not occur.

Example:

Show a div using the fold effect.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>show demo</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
  <style>
  div {
    display: none;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    background: #ccc;
    border: 1px solid #000;
  }
  </style>
  <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
  <script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
 
<button>show the div</button>
<div></div>
 
<script>
$( "button" ).click(function() {
  $( "div" ).show( "fold", 1000 );
});
</script>
 
</body>
</html>
