I just noticed that if you try animating an object with multiple properties, the step function is called for every increment of every property. This wasn’t quite what I was expecting. I was kind of expecting the step function to be called every time the entire object was updated (ie. one step in time).

The step function appears to be passed two arguments: the current value of the current property, and an object that holds some info about the object being animated. I’m trying to think of a neat way to detect, inside the step function, when all the properties have been updated, so I can trigger a callback on per frame rather than per step.

I just want to ask you in case you’ve already run into this and have any neat ideas?

Cheers!

Hey James! Nice article here. Your first example with the animate function immediately made me think of using it for more than just visual effects. Perhaps some sort of timing log or something along those lines.

Definitely something I’ll explore in my own code.

Cheers!

Really cool, i am using the Flock browser and linear is by far the smoothest animation and easiest on the eyes.
I should take into consideration that the box is “easing down” with an image in it, and wouldn’t be doing so in every situation. Thanks for this.

Nice small Tutorial James! If you are interested in more jQuery, you don't have to miss the following two articles: "Creative Image-Galleries by jQuery" or "jQuery - The easy way to navigate"

I created my own little take on JQuery animate() function. Pointless but fun http://playground.adrianwestlake.com/jquery/hello/

That demo is pretty neat, took me a short while to figure out what was going on exactly. It will be useful on the next project that I use spiffy JQuery UI on.
