which way should I do this?

[antijoke]

As per title, if I wanted to have an equaliser style effect that plays once and sits under a menu bar such as 'home' 'contact us' 'portfolio' then once you mouseover the 'home' the bar for the equaliser would bounce up underneath the selected icon.

I am sure this type of thing should be possible but cannot start to think how to go about it.

Any help is appreciated pointing me in the right direction to look.

Should be fairly straightforward in jQuery, although I'm not quite getting the effect you want.

I know I haven't explained it too well.

Basically an equaliser to do it's thing of moving bars up and down (not linked to an audio source) and when you mouseover the 'home' button it would stop the equliser and send the corresponding bar that is below the 'home' button up to it.

Sorry of that's even worse. Lol.

Using jQuery, create the initial animation and loop it (if you want it to run continuously). Then write in your hover effect to stop existing animation and animate the one specific bar.

Brilliant. Thanks. I'll give that a go.

np! It won't be quite as simple as I made it sound, but knowing the steps should make it a lot easier to figure out/google.

Also note, the "bars" you're talking about are the spectrum analyser, not the equaliser.
