Hey Christian, This is either a huge co-incidence or we are probably born on the same date and time... coz, i spent the full day yesterday to figure out exactly this and was jumping for joy that i found the simplest and the easiest way to stop animation and i started incorporating them into the jkwick and lavalamp plugin that i was working on...
I just wish u saved me all the hardwork by sending this message on wednesday.... Anyways, even though i thought i found the solution, i wasnt confident if that was the right solution, but now u confirmed it, and thanks a ton. When i whip out a small utility plugin outta this, i will be glad to add you as co-author. ;-) -GTG On 8/17/07, Cybolic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > You can start and stop an animation like so: > > // start > $('#animationElement').animate({width: 50}, slow); > > // stop > $.dequeue($('#animationElement').get(0), "fx"); > > > You can of course define a helper for it like so: > > $.fn.stop = function(){ > this.each(function(){ > $.dequeue(this, "fx"); > }); > return this; > }; > > - now you can just do: $('#animationElement').stop(); > > > This should really be added to the documentation, or given a shortcut. > If anyone would do this, or tell me how to do it, that'd be great. > > Cheers, > Christian Dannie > > On Aug 4, 6:40 am, "Ganeshji Marwaha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi friends, > > > > is there a way to stop an animation after it has started? any hack that > will > > make this happen will be useful... > > > > thanks in advance, > > -GTG > >
