jquery-animate

I know about the :animated selector, but currently am running into (what might be one of a few) performance issue for older IE's (go figure). I feel like it might potentially be the way I'm testing for ANY Page Animation . Currently I'm looping through an interval, with the core test being $('*').is(':animated') . This $('*') is what i'm worried about... but since I don't know exaclty what the divs / etc are that are being animated below my plugin, I'm not sure how else to do it! var testAnimationInterval = setInterval(function () { if ( ! $('*').is(':animated') ) { // all done animating

is it possible to re-create a zoom-like effect for dialogs in jquery without needing to download a lightbox plugin? i'd like to add animation to my dialogs to simulate the "zoom" effect found on this page when you click on one of the images. without needing yet another plugin, can this be done with jQuery out of the box? would love to be able to have dialogs (modal) animate from a specific point on the screen which the user has clicked (say a button or link) into a bigger container with the appropriate content - a zoom overlay effect? any help is greatly appreciated... Edited: $(function() { $

I try to simulate a turn to back effect, as two doors open to back simultaneously. I tried different matrix generators to obtain that trapezoid needed but i didn't have any luck. I know i have to animate an rotateY from 0 to 180 degrees and to keep my transform origin but that trapezoid kills me. How about using perspective ? demo HTML : <div class='doors'> <div class='door'></div><div class='door'></div> </div> Relevant CSS : .doors { perspective: 35em; } .door { display: inline-block; width: 50%; height: 100%; transition: 1s; } .doors:hover .door:first-child { transform-origin: 0 50% 0;

I want to animate a div by first making it's border thicker by 5px on mouseenter, then decreasing the border by 5px on mouseleave, the tricky part is that I don't want the div to look like it's moving (if you just animate the borders, the whole div will look like it shifts, not just the border getting thicker/thinner). I'm very close, but I'm stuck on the last part: mouseleave. What I have so far is: $("#thumbdiv<%=s.id.to_s%>").bind({ mouseenter: function(){ $(this).animate({ borderRightWidth: "25px", borderTopWidth: "25px", borderLeftWidth: "25px", borderBottomWidth: "25px", margin: "-5px" }
