# Toggle Switch Posts Homepage

 * Hey guys,
 * I have a vague question and no idea where to ask it, or even how, for that matter.
 * Basically, I wanted to have my front page (home) display about 20 or so post 
   titles (no excerpts, maybe photos). However, I want the each post to be able 
   to “toggle” down when clicked on, expanding for view, rather than loading each
   specific page. Let’s say it is a deal website, with dozens of deals to be posted
   per day, I would prefer that the title of the deal gets listed on the homepage,
   and if clicked, would simply toggle down or expand.
 * My questions are: 1) what kind of technology am I looking for? 2) is this a feature
   that I should find within a theme or plugin? 3? What’s the name of this toggle-
   box item?
 * Thanks so much in advance, and I apologize for these seemingly incoherent sentences!
 * Christian

 * Do you have this already? If so you can use some basic jQuery to achieve what
   you want:
 *     ```
       jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
   
         var postTitle,
             postContent,
             postTrigger;
   
         postTitle = $('.entry-title');
         postContent = postTitle.siblings('.entry-content');
         postTrigger = '<a class="trigger" href="#" />';
   
         // Hide the post content by default
         postContent.hide();
   
         // Add the toggle trigger link
         postTitle.wrapInner(postTrigger);
   
         // On click of the toggle trigger link
         $('.trigger').click(function() {
   
           // Toggle the entry content
           $(this).parent().siblings('.entry-content').slideToggle();
   
         });
   
       });
       ```

 * Wow, Andrew, thanks so much for the quick and thought-out reply! I did not know
   about this, and I’m immensely grateful to be pointed in this direction – my biggest
   problem was not knowing even how to explain myself.
 * I will look into this now. Have a great weekend!
