best answer example:
http://demo.superdit.com/jquery/zoom_hover/

when i’m on mouseover and then mouseout a couple of times very fast, the animation continues to play a couple of times way after the mouse is out.

how can the animation play only once after mouseout without jagged movement ?

thanks.

Below is the working code.

$(document).ready(function() {
  var cont_left = $("#container").position().left;
  $("a img").each(function() {
    var $this = $(this);
    var left = $this.position().left, top = $this.position().top;
    $(this).hover(function() {
      // hover in
      $(this).parent().parent().css("z-index", 1);
      $(this).stop().animate({
        height: "250",
        width: "250",
        left: left - 50,
        top: top - 50
      }, "fast");
    }, function() {
      // hover out
      $(this).parent().parent().css("z-index", 0);
      $(this).stop().animate({
        height: "150",
        width: "150",
        left: left,
        top: top
      }, "fast");
    });
  });

  $(".img").each(function(index) {
    var left = (index * 160) + cont_left;
    $(this).css("left", left + "px");
  });
});​

Changes made:

• Added .stop().
• Fixed positioning of the animation to make it compel with .stop() (make it stoppable.)
