jQuery animated horizontal list, little help needed

[Andy-H]

Hello,

I’m really newbie to JavaScript, so this is really basic.

See example list here.

If I ad the height of the li element, it ads the height in the bottom and my background images stay still. If I ad the margin to the top it works nice but it ads the margin to the top :) I would just like the li element to increase in height so that the backround image would move with it. You guys have any idea how would I achieve this?

All help is tremendously appreciated!

Thanks.

If you want the bus to come, just light a cigarette. Or to solve a problem, post it to forum :)

I made a longer BG-image and positioned it to the bottom and increased the height. See it here (test2).

I bet it could be cleaner and better… Suggestions?

If JavaScript is disabled, how do I get it to fall back to the normal css based navigation? See what I mean hear (only-css).

Here’s the JavaScript so far:

Code:

$(function() {

$(‘.page_item a’).hover(function() {

$(this).animate({
height: “175px”

},{queue:false, duration:70});

}, function() {

$(this).stop().animate({
height: “135px”

},{queue:false, duration:70});
});
});

Thanks!!
