jQuery Transit – CSS3 Transitions & Transforms With jQuery

CSS transitions and transforms provide a wide range possibilities for animating and morphing HTML elements.

If you would like to use them inside jQuery, jQuery Transit reaches to the rescue.

It is a plugin for implementing CSS transitions and transforms, has the same syntax as .animate, supports most of the methods and has the jQuery juice like callbacks, chaining, auto-browser-prefixes and more.

The plugin uses jQuery’s effect queue by default, so, transitions will never run in parallel.

It doesn't offer compatibility with older browser versions as real CSS3 rules are applied (rather than .animate) but degrades nicely and/or you easily force it to siwtch to the frame-based animation.
