Why doesn't the little snippet of jQuery code on the homepage use a better example? When you run the code, it show's a paragraph, but the paragraph has padding, so towards the end of the animation it "jumps". Wouldn't it be so much smoother, and hence more impressive, to show a paragraph without any padding?
I'm assuming the .show("slow") function doesn't take into account padding when finding the height of the container, and hence the unexpected animation jump. (Doesn't the innerHeight() plugin, that is now part of jQuery core, take care of this?) I think someone should fix that example, I hope this message reaches the right people. Peace, Rich jQuery Rocks!!
