Interesting I have figured out the reason why your example didn't work(and
now does). It doesn't work when you have elements in the array which don't
need animation/are in the same state initially as the final animation state.
So I now have an active class indicating it's state and the selector I use
is now 'div.mainLiner div.active'
Thanks a lot for your help. This thread is now solved.
Cheers,
Cam
