Let me preface this by stating, showing the code is not going to be possible, nor do I think it to be needed.
I am looking to produce an animation that is in my head tricky. I am looking to reproduce the effect of slideUp(), but in reverse. Instead of pulling the bottom to the top, I want the top to move up. Yes you can do this sort of thing with ther methods like animate and moving the background position, but what I have is a situation where that won't work. I have an image with text on it, that I want the background to appear to be filling with a color. The problem is the other image has the text on it as well, so I have to reveal the image from the bottom up, not the top down, or sliding the image from the bottom - it just doesnt look right since you can see the old text being covered and the new text coming from the bottom. slideDown works perfect, just in the wrong direction - I need it to start at the bottom and work its way up. No - I can't make the text transparent - for those looking to offer that suggestion. Can anyone help?
