FX module

FX module

Hi devs,
I'd like to mention the plan for a fx module rewrite. I think Brandon
mentioned it earlier.
The current fx module has:
- good IE performance
- bad FF performance
- very hackish and nearly impssible to work on, as John's inline
comment implies
Tests showing the performance issue: http://jquery.com/dev/bugs/bug/260/
According to those tests, jQuery has good performance in IE and
Scriptacolous has good performance on Firefox. It should be possible to
create effects that perform well on both, respectivly all, platforms.
Another important point: More control over animations. These are needed
in special cases, therefore any related methods should be placed in a
seperate plugin (http://jquery.com/dev/bugs/bug/203/). But the fx code
base must provide possible hacks to implement those methods.
This may be the plan to persuade:
- good performance on all plattforms
- maybe take some more inspiration from scriptcaulous
- allow hacks to pause/resume animations
- provide those hacks as an additional plugin
