How can I achieve a similar animation like the one used in google reader?
I have a container and want to append a lot of elements. I'm not using jquery at all today and use for (var i = 0; i < itemlength; i++) { container.appendChild(items[i]); } All I've achieved is this: for (var i = 0; i < itemlength; i++) { var it = $(items[i]); $it.hide(); $(container).append($it); $it.show('fast'); // sleep ... } Is this the way to do it? I can't see any animations at all. And also all the items get the style "display: block;" when showing them. Is this necessary? Kia
