Question

I can easily animate divs FROM the stylesheet position to another position using JQuery, but is there an easy way to do the reverse? Basically I want to avoid changing my stylesheet, yet have divs start off the page and be animated into their correct position.

You can try doing something like this:

var origt = $("#yourdiv").offset().top, origl = $("#yourdiv").offset().left;
$("#yourdiv").css({top:"auto", left:"auto"}); /*or wherever you want them to start*/
$("#yourdiv").animate({top:origt, left: origl});

Hope that helped!
