Is there a proper method when using jQuery **.show()** to display the element from its center as apposed to the default top/left?
There is a way to accomplish this using the “scale” property of the jQuery UI library, but it seems a bit overkill to rely on that for something so simple. Also I’m aware this can be achieved using a css3 animation + transform scale… but I’m solely interested in a standard jQuery method. If anyone could shed some light on this matter, I would much appreciate it. Thanks!
