I have 2 questions:

1. how can I identify an element gotten from an event, (aka function(event){$(this)}) ?

It has no selector property so I cannot identify the element, (I'm using event delegation, with 2 kinds of css classes f.e. " a.something, a.somethingelse", behavior changes according to classes)

2. Animating overflow:hidden; elements(like div and p) which has a certain width, and height:

Currently I've established a function that calculates the size of the text(chars) and according to the font size,

I animated the height (isn't too efficient, and produces me duplicate code)

I know there must be a way to animate overflowed hidden elements to the right size,

(Has to be, I just couldnt find it, even though I looked).

One thing I do know, the answer lays within the scrollHeight param, which isn't initiated by default..

Any help would be very much appriciated,

Any direction would be very helpful to me !!

Thanks !
