I have an application i have been working on for a few days, and i am almost done thanks to CF. Heres the last little add-on i want for this application. Its for a real estate company and they use this application to adjust the pictures in their gallery. They switch just fine without any problems. What i want is instead of them just switching i want animation.

I want them to move to the opposing div. Like if i were to select the "div1" and selected "div4". I would want the "div1" to start moving towards "div4"'s loacation and "div4" to start moving towards "div1"s location. Doeas anyone know where i can find an example like this or even a tutorial? Thanks for any help.

here is my page and what it looks like now.

ok if this helps i want to take this animations script here

var foo = null; // object

function doMove() {
foo.style.top = parseInt(foo.style.top)+3+'px';
setTimeout(doMove,5); // call doMove in 20msec
}

function init() {
foo = document.getElementById('title'); // get the "foo" object
foo.style.top = '0px'; // set its initial position to 0px
foo.style.zIndex='100';
doMove(); // start animating
}

and when two divs are selected i want to integrate that script into here, not sure how though

var selectedCount = 0;
var firstSelectedDiv;
var secondSelectedDiv;

function toggleTiles(tile)
{
switch (selectedCount)
{
case 0:
selectedCount = 1;
firstSelectedDiv = document.getElementById(tile);
firstSelectedDiv.style.opacity = '0.5';
firstSelectedDiv.style.filter ="alpha(opacity='50')";
break;
case 1:
selectedCount = 2;
secondSelectedDiv = document.getElementById(tile);
if ( secondSelectedDiv == firstSelectedDiv )
{
alert("Must Select Two images");
selectedCount = 0;
firstSelectedDiv.style.opacity = '1.0';
firstSelectedDiv.style.filter ="alpha(opacity='100')";

} // end: if
else //
{
secondSelectedDiv.style.opacity = '0.5';
secondSelectedDiv.style.filter ="alpha(opacity='50')";
toggleTiles(null);

} // end: else
break;
case 2:
var swapTileContents = firstSelectedDiv.innerHTML;
firstSelectedDiv.innerHTML = secondSelectedDiv.innerHTML;
secondSelectedDiv.innerHTML = swapTileContents;
alert('swapped');
firstSelectedDiv.style.opacity = '1.0';
firstSelectedDiv.style.filter ="alpha(opacity='100')";
secondSelectedDiv.style.opacity = '1.0';
secondSelectedDiv.style.filter ="alpha(opacity='100')";
selectedCount = 0;
break;
}
}

Thanks if anyone has suggestions..

/*<![CDATA[*/
// Basic Element Animator (13-March-2008) DRAFT
// by Vic Phillips http://www.vicsjavascripts.org.uk

// To progressively change the Left, Top, Width, Height or Opacity of an element over a specified period of time.

// **** Application Notes

// **** The HTML Code
//
// when moving an element the inline or class rule style position of the element should be assigned as
// 'position:relative;' or 'position:absolute;'
//
// The element would normally be assigned a unique ID name.
//

// **** Executing the Effect(Script)
//
// The effect is executed by an event call to function 'zxcBAnimator('left','tst1',20,260,2000);'
// where:
// parameter 0 = the mode(see Note 1). (string)
// parameter 1 = the unique ID name or element object. (string or element object)
// parameter 2 = the start position of the effect. (digits, for opacity minimum 0, maximum 100)
// parameter 3 = the finish position of the effect. (digits, for opacity minimum 0, maximum 100)
// parameter 4 = (optional) period of time between the start and finish of the effect in milliseconds. (digits or defaults to 2000 milliSeconds)
//
// Note 1: The default units(excepting opacity) are 'px'.
// Note 2: Examples modes: 'left', 'top', 'width', 'height', 'opacity.
// For hyphenated modes, the first character after the hyphen must be upper case, all others lower case.
// Note 3: To 'toggle' the effect include '#' in parameter 0.
// The first call will set the toggle parameters.
// Subsequent calls with '#' in parameter 0 and the same start and finish parameters will 'toggle' the effect.
// Note 4: The function may be re-executed with a different set of parameters (start/finish time or period)
// whenever required, say from an onclick/mouseover/out event.
// The period parameter will be retained unless re-specified.
//
// **** Advanced Applications
//
// It may be required to access the current value of the effect.
// The element effect is accessible from the element property
// element effect = elementobject[mode.replace(/[-#]/g,'')+'oop'];
// where mode is parameter 0 of the initial call.
// An array storing the current, start and finish values of the element effect may be accessed
// from the element effect.data as fields 0, 1 and 2 respectively
//

// **** General
//
// All variable, function etc. names are prefixed with 'zxc' to minimise conflicts with other JavaScripts.
// These characters may be changed to characters of choice using global find and replace.
//
// The Functional Code(about 2K) is best as an External JavaScript.
//
// Tested with IE7 and Mozilla FireFox on a PC.
//

// **** Functional Code - NO NEED to Change

Geez, thank you.. i cant believe you did that, you even added notes and why things do what they do. I hope good things happen to you from now on, haha. Thank you very much!!!

not that beggers should be choosers, but the main part of this application was making it easy for these people. I need to know where you control the on clicks. I need when the user clicks on the div and the second one, it stays at 0.5 opacity until they switch. Here was the code originally that did it.

if ( secondSelectedDiv == firstSelectedDiv )
{
alert("Must Select Two images");
selectedCount = 0;
firstSellectedDiv.style.opacity = '1.0';
firstSelectedDiv.style.filter ="alpha(opacity='100')";

} // end: if
else //
{
secondSelectedDiv.style.opacity = '0.5';
secondSelectedDiv.style.filter ="alpha(opacity='50')";
toggleTiles(null);

} // end: else

dont worry though if its a hastle, i just didnt know if there was something that controlled it. Thank you so much!!!
