I'm trying to get the width of an element, animate it bigger, then shrink it back to normal size on hover. Here's my function:
$('a.slider').hover(function(){ var mywidth = $(this).width(); $(this).animate({width: "240px"}); }, function(){ $(this).animate({width: +mywidth+px"}); }); The line I'm having trouble with is: $(this).animate({width: +mywidth+px"}); I know its not concatenated right, but I tried a few ways and couldn't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advanced!
