Steve, these look nice. I should probably start a new thread, but this example you have provided is an excellent jumping-off point for me to ask a question that is driving me nuts right now with jquery.
You have a whole lot of content animating at one time and it runs fairly smoothly. I have 4 absolutely-positioned divs that I want to move into place when the page loads. I initially had this done using prototype and the very slick event-selectors.js from Justin Palmer (http://encytemedia.com/event-selectors) This worked very well, ran smoothly in IE and FF on a PC (Hadn't tested on a mac yet). I rebuilt it from a scriptaculous version I tried initially to lessen my code - the scriptaculous version also worked extremely well. I love the idea of jQuery, and when I initially tried to animate one of the 4 divs, it looked as though it was going to work very well. I added the second animated div, then the third and noticed some slowness in FF. By the time I added a fourth div, it was so choppy and inconsistent in FF that I can't use it. Meanwhile, somewhat ironically, it runs VERY smoothly in IE. (figure that out) The tie-in to animation is that I started this process by using GSGD's methods for easing: http://gsgd.co.uk/sandbox/jquery.easing.php but they absolutely died when I tried running them simultaneously. I think GSGD ran into the same problem, because I found this line in his HTML: <!-- <p> # Toggle all </p> --> (commented out no doubt because of a dying processor) Back to my problem. I have been as specific as I can on selecting the 4 divs to optimize performance: $(document).ready(function(){ $("div#wrapper div.animated").animate({left:0,top:0},1000); } and without any additional easing or anything additional they are completely choppy in FF. I would LOVE to switch to jQuery for this project, it looks very well done, but this single issue COULD be a deal-breaker if I end up including other libraries just to get the effect I want. If anyone has any ideas of how I could improve performance in FF for this, I would appreciate it. John http://www.daharsh.net John Resig wrote: > >> I did some work in this area, too.
