Ok... I figured this one out. You use the animate() function in jquery. For some real fun, you can download the easing plugin. I started out by declaring a div called block to have a width of 0px; Then animate like so:
$(document).ready(function(){ $("#block").animate({ width: "400px" }, { duration: 2000, easing: "bounceout" } ); $("#block2").animate({ width: "600px" }, { duration: 2000, easing: "bounceout" } ); }); http://gsgd.co.uk/sandbox/jquery.easing.phpThe easing part is done by the plugin found here:
