CHAPTER 6: ANIMATION AND EFFECTS

Remember, dynamically modifying a web page takes just two steps1. Select the element(s)

2. Do something with them• This is about the doing something – animating elements• For example

$(selector).hide();$(selector).show();

There are two optional parameters on each effect

1. speed• fast• normal• slow• number in milliseconds

2. callback• A function to call when the effect is over

Hiding and showing

• hide()• show()• toggle()

Fading in and out• Fade elements in and out• fadeIn()• fadeOut()• fadeToggle()• fadeTo(percentage)

Sliding in and out• slideUp() – slides into view• slideDown() – slides out of view• slideToggle()

Animationsanimate( { property: value, …}, timeInMilliseconds);

Easing allows a more interesting animation

• jQuery has two built-in easing functions• linear• swing

• To use this, add the easing function

$(selector).animate({ property: value, property: value }, slow, 'swing');

With the jQuery easing plug-in, you have many more functions available

Callback functions allow you to do something when the effect is complete$(selector).fadeIn( speed, function() { // Do something });

Conclusion• jQuery allows animation and effects• You can show(), hide(), fadeIn(), fadeOut(), slideUp() and

slideDown()• You can specify a speed with an optional slow, fast,

normal, and number• Animation allows you to animate any numeric property• Easing functions create more interesting animations than

a simple linear one• You can even call a function when the animation is

complete with a callback function
