I'm a PHP guy so I still struggle with Javascript. The answer to this is probably easy.

I need to add some animation effects and I'm experimenting with JQuery animate. The sample routine is set up to run when you click on the Run link. I want to change the routine to run automatically when the page is loaded. Suggestions on what I need to change would be appreciated.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){


	$(".run").click(function(){
	
		$("#box").animate({opacity: "0.1", left: "+=400"}, 1200)

		.animate({opacity: "1", left: "0", height: "100", width: "100"}, "slow")
		.animate({top: "0"}, "fast")
		.slideUp()
		.slideDown("slow")
		return false;
	
	});

});

This should probably have been titled "Auto-start a script". It's my PHP focus coming through.

Just remove the surrounding click event ie.,

$(".run").click(function(){ ... });

I wasn't able to make it work that way but what did work was to replace the click event with ready as in:

$(".run").ready(function(){  ... });

put a comment in
//$(".run").click(function(){
//});

to disable run click.

//$(".run").click(function(){
	
		$("#box").animate({opacity: "0.1", left: "+=400"}, 1200)
		.animate({opacity: "0.4", top: "+=160", height: "20", width: "20"}, "slow")
		.animate({opacity: "1", left: "0", height: "100", width: "100"}, "slow")
		.animate({top: "0"}, "fast")
		.slideUp()
		.slideDown("slow")
		return false;
	
	//});
