You're absolutely correct John, it does not stop animation, thanks for clearing that up. I'm sorry for misleading you guys, I should have tested my claim more thoroughly.
To try and make up for my mistake, I've packaged John's new code into a plugin and added a skip function that skips the current animation (and goes to the next in queue). You can find it here: demo: http://untied.dk/jquery/stop/index.html plugin: http://untied.dk/jquery/stop/jquery.animstop.js Sorry for the confusion. - Christian Dannie Storgaard P.S. I haven't added the full new effect code from John's latest version, just the stuff needed to make stop work, so there may be something that doesn't work, but I haven't found anything so far.
