[jQuery] Animate Clip CSS Properties

[jQuery] Animate Clip CSS Properties


Hello All, I've found myself stuck with something. I have an image
which has a clip applied to it:
#some_image {
clip: rect(0px, 150px, 0px, 0px);
}
and I want to animate it but the .animate function doesn't seem to
work using the following:
$('#some_image ').animate({clip:"rect(0px, 450px, 0px, 0px)"},
400);
Searching around I've found a Moo Tools Plugin which does this:
http://georgschmid.at/dev/mootools/fxcssclip.htm
but I haven't found anything in my extensive googling talking about
how to do this in jQuery. Is it time to convert over a mootools plugin
or does someone have a trick or a link for me?
Thanks Gang!
