title: Easy GWT Animations
body: <p>I've started looking at some <a href="http://code.google.com/p/smartgwt/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">external</a> <a href="http://code.google.com/p/gwt-ext/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GWT</a> libraries for animations, but they all seemd a bit overkill for what i want.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to mimic <a href="http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/scrollable/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">JQuery Tools scrollabel</a> plugin in GWT for a scrolling navigation (think iphone). User clicks an item, page scrolls to the child panel of that item, which may also have children that can be clicked.</p>
  
  <p>All I need to do is slide a div, x number of pixels backwards and forwards over some fixed rate of time</p>
  
  <p>The only real <a href="http://development.lombardi.com/?p=22" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a> i've found on writing animations in GWT is 2 years old and seems a bit verbose, (managing individual frames etc...) </p>
  
  <p>Is there no simpler solution for easily moving a div from one position to another without requiring all the extra cruft?  </p>
  
  <p>Forgive me but I'm coming from jQuery coding that has this built in simply and easily.</p>
