I've started looking at some external GWT libraries for animations, but they all seemd a bit overkill for what i want.

I'm trying to mimic JQuery Tools scrollabel 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.

All I need to do is slide a div, x number of pixels backwards and forwards over some fixed rate of time

The only real tutorial i've found on writing animations in GWT is 2 years old and seems a bit verbose, (managing individual frames etc...)

Is there no simpler solution for easily moving a div from one position to another without requiring all the extra cruft?

Forgive me but I'm coming from jQuery coding that has this built in simply and easily.
