jQuery Animation - Smooth Size Transition

Question

So this might be really simple, but I haven\'t been able to find any examples to learn off of yet, so please bear with me. ;)

Here\'s basically what I want to do:

Answer 1

To piggy-back on the jquery plugin solution (too low of reputation to add this as a comment) jQuery.html() will remove any event handlers on the appended html. Changing:

// Modify the element's contents. Element will resize.
el.html(html);

to

// Modify the element's contents. Element will resize.
el.append(html);

will retain the event handlers of the "html" elements
