JQuery .animate(); not working with fixed height

I've worked with this many times and have had no problem. Animating the height and/or width of a DIV either by width/height: 'toggle' or replacing 'toggle' with specified width/height.
setTimeout( function(){
$('.input-group .Advanced').animate({
height: 'toggle'
}, {
duration: 500,
});
} , 500);
height: 'toggle' - Demo on JSFiddle
height: '400px' - Demo on JSFiddle
The code snippet works perfectly fine however I need this to be set to a specific height and replacing my 'toggle' to a fixed height such as '400px' does absolutely nothing...

$('.form-control' ).click(function(e) {
$(this).addClass('InputFreezeFocus');
$(this).animate({
width: '400px'
}, {
direction: 'left',
duration: 500,
});
setTimeout( function(){
$('.input-group .Advanced').animate({
height: '400px',
opacity: 'toggle'
}, {
duration: 500,
});
} , 500);
});
The .animate() method does not make hidden elements visible as part of the effect so you have to toggle the opacity.

Your given height is not working because you have set a display:none to your .Advanced class. When you use jquery inbuilt toggle string it will take care of that and make your hidden element in view.But, when you define your own height you also have to display that element in view otherwise animation will work but not display. You can refer Jquery animate() reference .It's written there
Note: Unlike shorthand animation methods such as .slideDown() and .fadeIn(), the .animate() method does not make hidden elements visible as part of the effect. For example, given $( "someElement" ).hide().animate({height: "20px"}, 500), the animation will run, but the element will remain hidden.
You can do this to animate your class
setTimeout( function(){
$('.input-group .Advanced').animate({
height: '500px',
opacity:'show'
}, {
duration: 500
});
} , 500);
This will get your hidden element in view.Demo of your code

jQuery: Mouse Interaction + Simple Animation [img]

I'm new to jQuery so please work with me here. :)
[Site Image] http://imgur.com/zx803Ct
So I'm trying to have the bottles here to animate with cursor interaction.
Goal: I want the hovered image to come to the foreground and the rest to shrink into the background.
Undesired Results: The code seems to shrink all the bottles without condition. I seem to be running into trouble with the "if, then, else" section.
Process:
Store 'mouseEntered' element, do for each bottle, check if match, apply effects.
Code:
$(".sauce_bottle").mouseenter( function(){
var $active = $(this); //The "entered" image
//For each (div) bottle, check if "entered", apply effects
$('.sauce_bottle').each( function(){
if ( $active == $(this) ) {
//Shrink
alert($active.attr("alt"));
$(this).animate({
height: "230px",
width: "70px",
opacity: ".70"},
150);
} else {
//or Enlarge
$(this).animate({
height: "279px",
width: "85px",
opacity: "1"},
150, function(){});
}
});
});
If I'm missing a concept (scope) or if you guys have an alternative way of doing this that would be fantastic!
Thanks guys! :)

I would do it like this:
$(".sauce_bottle").mouseenter( function() {
$(this).animate({
height: "279px",
width: "85px",
opacity: "1",
}, 150);
$(".sauce_bottle").not(this).animate({
height: "230px",
width: "70px",
opacity: ".70",
}, 150);
});

jquery scrollTo offsetTop

I'm using jquery ScrollTo wonderfully but want to use the "offset top" add-on, has anyone set it up? I'm unsure of how to properly use it
$('#aAbout').click(function about() {
$.scrollTo('#dAbout', 500, offsetTop: 10px);
});

That isn't valid JavaScript syntax. Perhaps you meant:
$('#aAbout').click(function() {
$('#dAbout').scrollTo({
duration: 500,
offsetTop: '10px'
});
});

fadeOut() and slideUp() at the same time?

I have found jQuery: FadeOut then SlideUp and it's good, but it's not the one.
How can I fadeOut() and slideUp() at the same time? I tried two separate setTimeout() calls with the same delay but the slideUp() happened as soon as the page loaded.
Has anyone done this?

You can do something like this, this is a full toggle version:
$("#mySelector").animate({ height: 'toggle', opacity: 'toggle' }, 'slow');
For strictly a fadeout:
$("#mySelector").animate({ height: 0, opacity: 0 }, 'slow');

Directly animating height results in a jerky motion on some web pages. However, combining a CSS transition with jQuery's slideUp() makes for a smooth disappearing act.
const slideFade = (elem) => {
const fade = { opacity: 0, transition: 'opacity 400ms' };
elem.css(fade).slideUp();
};
slideFade($('#mySelector'));
Fiddle with the code:
https://jsfiddle.net/00Lodcqf/435
In some situations, a very quick 100 millisecond pause to allow more fading creates a slightly smoother experience:
elem.css(fade).delay(100).slideUp();
This is the solution I used in the dna.js project where you can view the code (github.com/dnajs/dna.js) for the dna.ui.slideFade() function to see additional support for toggling and callbacks.

The accepted answer by "Nick Craver" is definitely the way to go. The only thing I'd add is that his answer doesn't actually "hide" it, meaning the DOM still sees it as a viable element to display.
This can be a problem if you have margin's or padding's on the 'slid' element... they will still show. So I just added a callback to the animate() function to actually hide it after animation is complete:
$("#mySelector").animate({
height: 0,
opacity: 0,
margin: 0,
padding: 0
}, 'slow', function(){
$(this).hide();
});

It's possible to do this with the slideUp and fadeOut methods themselves like so:
$('#mydiv').slideUp(300, function(){
console.log('Done!');
}).fadeOut({
duration: 300,
queue: false
});

I had a similar problem and fixed it like this.
$('#mydiv').animate({
height: 0,
}, {
duration: 1000,
complete: function(){$('#mydiv').css('display', 'none');}
});
$('#mydiv').animate({
opacity: 0,
}, {
duration: 1000,
queue: false
});
the queue property tells it whether to queue the animation or just play it right away

Throwing one more refinement in there based on #CodeKoalas. It accounts for vertical margin and padding but not horizontal.
$('.selector').animate({
opacity: 0,
height: 0,
marginTop: 0,
marginBottom: 0,
paddingTop: 0,
paddingBottom: 0
}, 'slow', function() {
$(this).hide();
});

How to make a continuous scroll with JQuery?

I have this site I am developing - I made the scroller with the following code:
$(document).ready(function()
{
function scrollIt()
{
$('#featured-brands div#scroll').animate({
marginLeft: "-4550px"}, 85000, "linear").animate({
marginTop: "-223px" }, 200, "linear").animate({
marginLeft: "750px" }, 100, "linear").animate({
marginTop: "57px" }, 1, "linear", scrollIt);
}
scrollIt();
});
When the final image is sliding across, there is a white blank space visible, how would I make the first image appear right after the final image, so there is no white space?
Cheers,
Keith

split it into two. When one goes off the bottom, move it so it's above the other.
