Thanks Christopher. That is what I figured. Wasn't sure of a real case scenario
that I would do inches except maybe an online proofing website or something
that dealt with print pieces.
Was more curious because I saw this code on the jQuery animate page and didn't
know if this was a standard with css or something jQuery was providing for
their user base as a convenience per se.
<script>
// Using multiple unit types within one animation.
$( "#go" ).click(function() {
$( "#block" ).animate({
width: "70%",
opacity: 0.4,
marginLeft: "0.6in", <———— saw this
fontSize: "3em",
borderWidth: "10px"
}, 1500 );
});
</script>
Thanks for the reply.
