Hi Andy,
I don't see any reason why you couldn't use the Kwiks for jQuery
plugin with something other than list items. Just remove the 'li' from
the .children() method in line 28:
var kwicks = container.children('li');
becomes
var kwicks = container.children();
Untested.

Anyone have any input on this?
I'd also like to determine if I can use percentages for the widths of
the items.

Here's a version I've got using the kwicks plugin and divs nested

It's working quite well, but I'm still not convinced that nesting
divs
inside list items is a good idea.

Subject: [jQuery] Effect like Kwicks plugin
I'm looking to achieve an effect similar to that of the Kwicks plugin
<http://www.jeremymartin.name/projects.php?project=kwicks> .
However, I
don't want to use this for navigation, I want to use it for the
main body of
my site. Currently it looks like the Kwicks plugin can only work on
list
items, but I'd like something which can be applied to div tags. One
of the
examples <http://www.jeremymartin.name/examples/kwicks.php?
example=7> shows
the use of divs inside the list item tags, but I don't think that's
valid
xHTML so I'd rather not use that method.
Does anyone know if there's a similar plugin that can be applied to
div
tags, or does anyone have plain code they might share which can do
this?
I've already got something that "works" but doesn't look all that
good:
http://commadelimited.com/code/maternitymealplanner/
The problems I'm having with my version are:
1) Far right div gets pushed to bottom as animation plays out
2) Animation is a little jerky as the various elements position
themselves
3) Occasionally, the cursor will position itself just right
and the
animation will queue up and then go on for like an extra 5 seconds
after the
mouse is moved off of it.
Thanks peeps
