In case Remy Sharp is reading this: jsbin is not working here.. when I try to save to a new URL, it goes to http://edit/ Also, pressing backspace results in lag, using delete doesn't.
I turned your code into a plugin, and made some changes. Now you pass an object with parameters and only need to specify an 'offset' in padding, the values are calculated from the element's current padding. I tried hard to keep the overall width constant but it seems impossible. Here's the code I ended up with (same html/css): (function($) { $.fn.shrinkHover = function(options){ var normal = Number(this.find('a:first').css('paddingLeft').replace('px','')); var length = this.find('li a').length; var opt = { size: 12, speed: 350, easing: "easeOutExpo"}; jQuery.extend(opt,options); var large = normal+opt.size; var small = normal-(opt.size/length), small = (small<0) ? 0 : small; var extra = Math.round( (small%1)*length ), small = Math.floor(small); large += extra; this.find('li').hover(function(){ //Mouse over $(this).children('a').animate({ paddingLeft: large, paddingRight: large },opt.speed,opt.easing).dequeue(); $(this).siblings('li').children('a').animate({ paddingLeft: small, paddingRight: small },opt.speed,opt.easing).dequeue(); }, function() { // Mouse out $(this).siblings().andSelf().children('a').animate({ paddingLeft: normal, paddingRight: normal },opt.speed,opt.easing).dequeue(); }); }; })(jQuery); $(document).ready(function(){ $('#subNavigation').shrinkHover(); }); cheers, - ricardo On Oct 25, 2:28 am, "c.barr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Cool, I've never seen that site before.
