Thanks again for your time.
The idea is this: I have an action that usually finishes instantly but can
take alot of time if on that action the database is migrated (this happens
rarely but it happens).
On this action i triggered the animation because I wanted to notify the user
somehow that things are happening in the background.
Actually in my code I added a delay function and it looks like this:
$("#panel").delay(3000)
.animate({top:"0px"}, 500)
.animate({top:"0"}, 60000)
.animate({top:"-75px"}, 500);
So if the action takes more than 3 seconds it must be database migration so
the panel is shown.
