jQuery animate and property values in percentage

Question

I trying to animate a div and I try to use some value retreived somewhere else, I know the value to be correct because I\'ve printed out the output... so I\'m wondering why

Answer 1

This works if you're happy using CSS3 transitions:

JS:

function animateBar(percentage){
    $('#innerBox').width(percentage+'%');
}

CSS:

#innerBox{transition: 3s}
