chain jQuery

[ggalan]

can anyone lend a hand please
i want to chain animations so that it all happens together at once, not in a series

$("#swipeMask").animate({"top": "0px"}, 500).animate({ backgroundColor: '#ffffff' }, 200);

I don't think you can animate background colour (at least not with the standard jQuery - think there's a plugin for it).

Anyway, to do multiple animations at the same time, do it like this:

$("#swipeMask").animate({
	"top": "0px",
	"left" : '20px'
	// Add any more properties you want to animate here
}, 500);

the backgroundColor worked!

$("#swipeMask").animate({"top": "0px", backgroundColor: '#ffffff'}, 700);
