IE8 not working with CSS3 animation, what jQuery alternative is there?

Question

I understand that ie8 is not compatible with a lot that css3 has. For this animation is there a work around to still have the animation work in ie8? Such as an extra snippet of jQuery?

Answer 1

You can very well use jQuery's .animate() method.

$('#clickme').click(function() {
  $('#book').animate({
    opacity: 0.25,
    left: '+=50',
    height: 'toggle'
  }, 5000, function() {
    // Animation complete.
  });
});
