Animating background-position-x has different behaviors on browsers.

[[email protected]…]

Running the following code:

$(".awesome").hover(function(){ $(this).stop().animate({backgroundPositionX: $(this).width();}); },function(){ $(this).stop().animate({backgroundPositionX: 0;}); });

does the following on Chrome: slides the background image in and out on hover.

does the following on Internet Explorer 9: slides the background image out, but sets the position directly to 0 on hover off.
