jQuery 1.4 Animation Techniques - Index of

Custom Animations
The predefined effects that we have looked at throughout the book so far
are very good at what they do, but they are there to cater for very specific
requirements and will sometimes not be enough when more complex
animations are needed.
In these situations we can use jQuery's animate() method, which allows us to
define custom animations with ease that can be as complex and as specialized
as the task at hand requires, and this is what we'll be looking at over the course
of this chapter.
Subjects that we'll cover throughout the course of this chapter will include:
Creating custom animations with the animate() method
Passing arguments to the method
Animating an element's dimensions
Animating an element's position
Creating a jQuery animation plugin
