$("a").hover(function() { $(this).stop().animate({paddingLeft : "10px"},200); },function() { $(this).stop().animate({paddingLeft : "0px"},200); });Make sure to change the selector to only target the links you want to have nudging, e.g. “#sidebar ul li a”
oh, I needed this about a week ago, I had to use a simple padding without animation. thanks..
Is it possible to do this AND get a backgroundcolor that fades back to transparent?
