Anyone know of a way to get the blind effect, when showing an element,
to roll upwards from the bottom, and when hiding it to roll down from
the top?
I see you can choose between vertical and horizontal but not the
direction of the animation. It's either:
show (vertical) = top to bottom
hide (vertical) = bottom to top
show (horizontal) = left to right
hide (horizontal) = right to left
anyone know if it can be reversed, or if another effect can?

We're loading content via ajax using .load, into a jquery ui dialog
box.
Everything is fine but I'd like to have a loading animation until the
ajax content is ready to go
I tried something along the lines of:
- put a loading animation in "#divForDialog"
- $(divForDialog).dialog().load( 'page.htm')
so the loading animation displays when the dialog pops up, and then
ajax loads content that erases the loading animation
it's fine except that the ajax content still takes a while to load,
but the system erases the loading animation the moment it receives
some of the ajax content
another complication is that the ajax content pulls in images etc via
css and via jquery.css('background-image' : 'url(path/to/file.jpg)')
type calls
I'm sure there must be an easy way to make the .load wait till the
ajax content is 100% done loading before injecting the content?

Hi all, I'm trying something along these lines:
my domain = example.com
external domain = otherExample.com
example.com/test.htm contains:
iframe src=otherExample.com/test2.htm
I want test2.htm to have access to the contents of test.htm. I can do
this using selectors like $("p",top.document) ONLY if test2.htm is
loaded from example.com rather than from otherExample.com. As soon as
it's loaded from otherExample.com, it can't get access to the contents
of example.com/test.htm
Is it possible to do this?
thanks in advance

I was about to use inArray (http://docs.jquery.com/Utilities/
jQuery.inArray) to determine if an element was in an array or not, but
I realized I can't use it as a true/false response since it returns
the position (and could return 0 if the element was found in position
0 - returns -1 if not found). I was expecting something with the same
functionality as the PHP function in_array (http://us3.php.net/
in_array)
I know it's a minor point but wouldn't it be more intuitive if called
arrayPosition? with a name like that I'd expect the functionality it
has now.

I'm helping someone set up thickbox to work on their yahoo store. It
seems like Yahoo has a built-in click tracking system that is messing
up the thickbox though.
For example clicking on a thickbox link that points to "theFile.htm"
first makes a request to yahoo for something like:
http://a.analytics.yahoo.com/p.pl?a=.......
with a ton of analytical data appended to the URL. It returns a
tracking gif, and the real content of theFile.htm never loads. (you
just stare at thickbox's loadingAnimation.gif forever)
Has anyone ever seen this before and come up with a workaround?

Hi all, I have a couple questions about the superfish navigation menu
(http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/#examples)
First is that the menu claims to degrade nicely when javascript is
turned off -- but for me when I disable JS and hover over the menus,
nothing happens. Even looking at the superfish examples on tpg.com, if
i disable js there the menus don't appear on hover.
Second, anyone know if superfish can be used to display a menu very
similar to REI.com? I can get the nav-bar style to be close, but I
can't get it to automatically extend multiple columns. I'm tinkering
with it but I'm beginning to wonder if I'm better off just creating my
own menu from scratch instead
thanks all
