The general purpose of JavaScript animations in Plone is to provide a visual cue to the user when a part of the page is changed. (Instantly changing the page may leave the user confused as to what has changed.) Developers should resist the temptation to deploy new animations. Stick with the animations provided by jQuery and jQuery Tools. Animations should last no longer than necessary to signal changes.
