Question

I have a script:

$(\'#hfont1\').hover(
    function() {
        $(this).css({\"color\":\"#efbe5c\",\"font-size\":\"52pt\"}); //mouseover
    }, 
    function         


        

Answer 1

If you are needing to use CSS with the jQuery .animate() function, you can use set the duration.

$("#my_image").css({
    'left':'1000px',
    6000, ''
});

We have the duration property set to 6000.

This will set the time in thousandth of seconds: 6 seconds.

After the duration our next property "easing" changes how our CSS happens.

We have our positioning set to absolute.

There are two default ones to the absolute function: 'linear' and 'swing'.

In this example I am using linear.

It allows for it to use a even pace.

The other 'swing' allows for a exponential speed increase.

There are a bunch of really cool properties to use with animate like bounce, etc.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#my_image").css({
        'height': '100px',
        'width':'100px',
        'background-color':'#0000EE',
        'position':'absolute'
    });// property than value

    $("#my_image").animate({
        'left':'1000px'
    },6000, 'linear', function(){
        alert("Done Animating");
    });
});
