:animated Selector
animated selector
version added: 1.2jQuery(':animated')
Description: Select all elements that are in the progress of an animation at the time the selector is run.
Additional Notes:
- Because
:animated
is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using:animated
cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOMquerySelectorAll()
method. To achieve the best performance when using:animated
to select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use.filter(":animated")
.
Example:
Change the color of any div that is animated.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
div { background:yellow; border:1px solid #AAA; width:80px; height:80px; margin:0 5px; float:left; }
div.colored { background:green; }
</style>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7rc2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<button id="run">Run</button>
<div></div>
<div id="mover"></div>
<div></div>
<script>
$("#run").click(function(){
$("div:animated").toggleClass("colored");
});
function animateIt() {
$("#mover").slideToggle("slow", animateIt);
}
animateIt();
</script>
</body>
</html>
