script.aculo.us - Squish Effect

Description

The squish effect animates the removal of the target element from the document display by scaling its size down to nothing in the vertical and horizontal directions while holding its upper left corner stationary.

The net visual effect is that the element is squished into its upper-left point until it vanishes.

new Effect.Squish('id_of_element', [options]);
