However, I would also like to implement slideLeftShow() and slideRightHide(). I know there are substantial libraries that offer this type of thing (I'd like to avoid adding an...
Currently it seems that I can only use effects in their most basic form when using the Dialog widget. For example, the following will use the drop effect for both showing and hiding the dialog box: $('#dialog').dialog({show:'drop', hide:'drop'}); However, the default for the drop method always drops to the left. What I really want i...

I'm a XAML/WPF newbie, and I thought I'd write an alarm clock application to get into it. I want to get past the basic textboxes, dropdowns etc, which are fairly simple once you get the hang of the layout model, but I'd like to get into the graphics side of things. I'd like to display alarm clock digits on a black backdrop, but importa...

Right now I am just doing this in the ajax callback handler: function searchCallback(html) { $("#divSearchResults").html(html); } This makes the content "pop" onto the page, and it's very abrupt.
