How about animation("pause")?

How about animation("pause")?


Hello,
I have been using the animate function lately and have come to realize
that there's no way to pause and resume and animated sequence. I know
there's a stop function but I'm think there should be a pause and
resume function as well. For example:
$("#box").animate({height:200},10000)...;
.... do some stuff here
$("#box").animate("pause");
.... do some stuff here
$("#box").animate("resume");
You could even make the stop() function a part animate call. for
example animate("stop"). This would mean one less function on the
jQuery ($) object.
