Offset animation with jquery

Question

I'm doing it:

source.offset({ top: top + 10 + (current)*60 , left: left + 10 });

What I would like to do is revitalize the move. So I did:

source.animate({left: left + 10, top:top + 10 + (current)*60}, 500, function() {    // Animation complete.});

But this is not the place. Although it was normal with the first version.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks for the help

Answer 1

I am not an expert, but I think that animate () and css () can change the offset relative to the parent .. like position (), and offset () gives the offset from the whole document. maybe that confuses?

Answer 2

Try

$("#source").animate({left: (left + 10), top:(top + 10 + ((current)*60))}, 500, function()
 { //comments });
