Trying to achieve this animation effect in jQuery

Question

I'm trying to achieve an effect like the one on this page (click the submit button).

The modal drops down from the top of the page. I think it's a jQuery easing effect, but I am a little baffled by all the options.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

The easing they're using is called easeOutBack, it really just boils down to this:

.animate({
   left  : ( ($(document).width() - this.options.BoxStyles.width) / 2),
   top   : ( $(document).scrollTop() + ($(window).height() - this.Box.outerHeight()) / 2 )
 }, {
    duration  : this.options.moveDuration,
    easing    : 'easeOutBack'
 });

Here's their effect packed up in a stand-alone demo to show it a bit better.
