Think of it logically.....

To animate a property, the computer needs to work out the in-between stages (tweening) to show:

e.g animate width from 10 to 20 = 11,12,13,14, etc
to animate opacity from 40% to 100% = 41%, 42%, 43%, etc

You can also animate colours*, because behind-the-scenes they go from #000000 to #FFFFFF = 00, 01, 02..09, 0A, 0B..0F, 10, 11, etc

What would you reckon the "tweens" from "inline" to "block" were ?

Hey Ricardo,

I thought this might be the case. Nothing to clarify on the jQuery
website that I could find. Thanks for the tip - I'll bear that in mind
for the future.

Cheers,

dude, you can't animate from inline to block. For any width/height
animation to work correctly the element needs display:block from the
start.

Hey guys,
Got a little script I've written. Would like to animate the appearance
of the #sidebar2 to it's new block element state if possible ($
('#sidebar2').css('display', 'block');).
// 'get a quote!' button is clicked
        $('.contactQuote').click(function(){
                $('#content').css('width', '33%');
> $('#sidebar2').css('display', 'block'); $('.wpcf7').css('border', '3px solid #6ABC00');
                return false;
                });
        $('.wpcf7 input').focus(function(){
                $('.wpcf7').css('border', 'none');
                });
        });
What I've been experimenting with isn't working unfortunately :[ // 'get a quote!' button is clicked
        $('.contactQuote').click(function(){
                $('#content').css('width', '33%');
> $('#sidebar2').animate({display: "block"}, 1000); $('.wpcf7').css('border', '3px solid #6ABC00');
                return false;
                });
        $('.wpcf7 input').focus(function(){
                $('.wpcf7').css('border', 'none');
                });
        });
Any tips? Cheers dudes,
