Question

Any way to make the famous jQuery Flip! plugin affect the text only? … as in seeing the text actually rotate rather than just disappearing and then re-appearing at the end of the “rotation”?

var $flipBox  = $('span#flipbox'),
    flip_opts = [{
        direction: 'tb',
        speed: 600,
        content: "NUMBER TWO"
    },
        {
            direction: 'tb',
            speed: 600,
            content: "NUMBER 3"
        },
        {
            direction: 'tb',
            speed: 600,
            content: "NUMBA 4"
        }
    ],
    curr_indx = 0,
    timer     = setInterval(function () {
        if (curr_indx >= flip_opts.length) {
            curr_indx = 0;
        }
        $flipBox.flip(flip_opts[curr_indx]);
        curr_indx++;
    }, 3000);
