This week I’m going to show you to make the best use of jQuery’s amazing animation features using just a few lines of code for each our examples. Did you know that you can use jQuery’s animation functions to create your very own progress-bar in less than 3 lines? or that you could use it to make your very own accordian in under 9 lines? Well, today I’m going to go through some examples of how to do these and a whole lot more.
When you think about animation on the internet, chances are some of the first tools that come to mind are Flash, Microsoft’s Silverlight and maybe even Animated GIFs. It has only been in the past couple of years that JavaScript and the frameworks built around it have really matured into languages that neatly support basic animation primes like chained time delays, basic motion and simple special effects – so it’s never been a better time to start experimenting with what they can do!.
