hello all, i am curious if there is a simple solution to this very common problem im sure lots get. i have a div with some children items in it and when i fade one of them out the div jumps down to the appropriate height. i would like to know is there a simple way to animate the div to shrink nicely instead of just jumping to its new size? thanks.
