i don't understand ur problem quite right, but assuming that all you need is
to animate the height of a box from 0 to some max value, i would write it
like this
$('#wait').animate({ height: 'toggle' }, 3000);
If you wanted this box to be invisible during the initial page load, i would
use css... like this
#wait {
display: none;
}
I don't know if this answered ur question. if it didn't then can u be a bit
more elaborate, and also post a link somewhere i can take a look at what u r
trying to achieve
