Hey everyone, I have achieved the effect described in the title using the following code:

$(document).ready(function(){

$('.button').mousedown(function() {
    $(this).animate({ 'top': '3px' }, 70);
});
$('.button').mouseup(function() {
    $(this).animate({ 'top': '0px' }, 70);
});
$('.button').hover(function() {
    $(this).stop().animate({ 
        color: '#fff',
        backgroundColor: '#000' 
    }, 250);
});
$('.button').mouseout(function() {
    $(this).stop().animate({ 
        color: '#000',
        backgroundColor: '#fff' 
    }, 250);
});

});

I am pretty sure that that this code can be reduced significantly, can anyone help me out? Please note that I want the button to animate when the mouse is clicked and not return to it's original position until the mouse is released.

Cheers
