jQuery Animation: Queue, Stop()

When ".stop()" is used, all specified elements will stop their animation immediately and allow the next queued up animation to execute.

$('li').stop().animate({...code....});

By inserting "queue : false", we can stop the animation from queuing up in the animation buffer.

$('li').animate({...code...},{queue:false},1000);

To combine usage for both methods,

$('li').stop(true).animate({...code...});
