Hi, John...and thanks for the reply. It happens whenever a graphic starts the slide upwards. It jumps from its starting position to about where the bottom link is, then the slide smooths out.
I noticed you're example doesn't do it. Although in IE 7 when the page is first loaded or refreshed and a graphic is clicked... most visible when the first or second graphic is clicked... the slide takes place, but the graphic doesn't move until the slide is finished. After the first click, the graphics slide normally. I copied your markup to a page and tried it and I get the same results. So your markup solves one problem, but creates another, at least in IE 7. But I just can't figure out why Carlos' menu works so well at http://www.generalmedicine.com/index2.htm and mine doesn't. I think I've got all the pertinent files and markup necessary. ???

Subject: Re: [jQuery] FW: Why are my graphics "jumping"? Are you talking about when you click "For Physicians" then click "Facilities" - and the "For Hospitals" image jumps a little bit? If so, that's currently an issue with how jQuery does animation - they are not synchronized in nature. For example. the one div is sliding up and the other is sliding down, it's not guaranteed that when one is at 90px tall, the other will be exactly at 10px (if the combined height was 100px). Unfortunately, it requires significant overhead (in jQuery) to do something that complex. If you absolutely must not have the final image move, the alternative is to position everything absolutely, then simply adjust the top of the sections that you need to move (in addition to doing a slideup/slidedown on the links). I took the time to build a demo for you, since it is rather non-trivial: http://john.jquery.com/ticket/stable-slide/ I restructured the markup to be ul/li elements (works better in this case) and gave all child uls a set height (this is required if you want the image positions to remain stable). In the case of this demo, I set the height to 75 pixels - but you can adjust that. --John _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
