Easing Values?

Easing Values?


I apologize if this is listed other places. I've been searching for a
good two hours and can only seem to find an old plug in for jQuery and
some vague references to "Easing" now being part of jQueryUI.
Basically, I want a dialog box that "pops" to the forefront (sort of
like the alert boxes on the iPhone). I've done it in the past with the
"easing" plug in, but it doesn't seem to work with jQuery 1.3.2. I've
read through the documentation on jQuery UI and I don't see any
mention of easing through there either, just the pre-built effects
(none of which do what I want).
Any thoughts or direction are appreciated!
Thanks,
Nate
