I am new to jQuery/jQuery UI, so I apologize in advance if I am just being particularly dense. I am wanting to use the jQuery UI size effect to shrink an html element and contents. Using the latest version of jQuery UI, I can not get the size effect to "stick". The element will resize, then at the end of the resize, it will return to the original size. If I go back to jQuery UI 1.8, this does not occur. How do I make the size effect stick in the latest version of the jQuery UI? You should be able to see the difference in the below links.
