Close but in your example newWidths is an array of numbers. In your case you'll want a way to extract the largest width from the array and then use that value to animate the li width. Maybe something like this.
var width = $('li.hello img').widths().sort().revers()[0]; $('li.hello').animate({ width: width }, 'slow'); Thanks for a nice "real-world" example. :) In testing this I found a bug and created a new release 1.0.1. -- Brandon Aaron On Fri, May 9, 2008 at 2:08 AM, Alexandre Plennevaux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Brandon, i believe this is a clever little plugin.
