been reading other posts about $(this) and what it refers to. And still I dont understand.
I thought $(this) is a refernce to the object I am operating on, no? So this (no pun intended, tee hee) should work ,I thought: $('#div').animate({top:parseInt($(this).css('top'))+50},400); because my absolute-positioned element $('#div').css('top') definitely returns '100px'. and the parseint returns, as expected, '100' what gives? what am I missing?
