Discrepancy in docs

[drinkspiller 3 Likes (Newbie)]

The docs show that the first argument to the methods .to, .from, .staggerTo, .staggerFrom and staggerFromTo is an Object:

 

target : Object

Target object (or array of objects) whose properties the tween affects

 

 

This blog post, however, notes that is can also be a string representing a selector:

 as of version 1.13.1, GSAP uses that as a fallback (after attempting to detect a selector engine like jQuery). That means that you can do something like this, for example:

TweenLite.to("li:first-child, li:last-child", 1, {opacity:0.5});

 

Can the docs please be updated to reflect that this argument can also be a selector string? Cheers!

Valid point.

 

I've updated the docs so that target parameters of tweens read:

 

target : Object

Target object (or array of objects) whose properties should be affected. When animating DOM elements, the target can be: a single element, an array of elements, a jQuery object (or similar), or a CSS selector string like “#feature” or “h2.author”. GSAP will pass selector strings to a selector engine like jQuery or Sizzle (if one is detected or defined through TweenLite.selector), falling back to document.querySelectorAll().

Thanks for the suggestion.
