I noticed that when using the hide() function in JQuery, like this:
$("myDiv").hide("slow");
It always “folds” to the top-left corner of the div. Is there a way I could make it fold to the center? (In the case I’m talking about the div is configured "position: absolute;")
jQuery UI has a “scale” effect which might be what you want:
