One more comment... As you probably figured out from looking at the generated source, the culprit is likely to be the animation code, which sets those unwanted attributes when it animates an item.
So one good test would be to remove all animation and see if it generates better code. It will also make the interface more usable. The animation that's there now doesn't serve any purpose, and it's confusing. The elements shouldn't be zooming down to a point and then re-expanding. When I move a physical object it doesn't do that. Instead, if you want some useful animation, show the element moving from its old position to its new one, without any unnecessary size changes. -Mike In other words, the animation should help show what is actually happening, > My problem is that, when moving elements right (iow creating > a new ul as a child to an existing li), the parent element is > not expanding, so the newly created ul is overlapping with > other elements. > > Just look at my example page: http://xcite-online.de/tests/jquery1/ > http://xcite-online.de/tests/jquery1/ . _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
