    Thanks. I take it then that there is no way to do a percent except manually. I was hoping I could devise a function (perhaps utilizing "this.height"). That, and maybe some concatenation magic (as in " ' " + (this.height*2) + "px'"). But no code wizardry I possible?!?

I worked my way down to the topic on .animate (http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_animate.asp). For Example 1, of the "Use Queue Functionality", I thought I'd try experimenting with the code, and modified it to add a small red square on top of the large green one (see attached code). I want the red square to change size as the green square changes size, but maintain its size relative to its larger sibling. I can make this happen if I 'ID=' each square and give each the appropriate numeric value, but this isn't exactly flexible/generic. I can use something like '+=100px' and '-=100px', but this clearly adds the same amount to both squares, and naturally the red square doesn't stay relatively sized to the green square. Using something like '*=2.0' just silently fails. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks, Richard
