jQuery - destroy animation

Question

How to destroy created animation on same element?

For example: I have animation

$('#sortable').animate({
    paddingTop: 85
}, 100);

And on same action I want to destroy it, because I done need it anymore. Something like:

$('#sortable').animate('destroy');

But it doesn't work.

Answer 1

just use stop()

$('#sortable').stop(true);// first argument removes all animations in the queue
