Javascript/Jquery: using a variable in the css-property of animate
Why does this work:

    <something>.stop().animate(
        { 'top' : 10 }, 10
    );
but this doesn't:

    var thetop = top;
    <something>.stop().animate(
        { thetop : 10 }, 10
    );

To make it even clearer: At the moment I'm not able to pass a css-property to the animate function as variable.

Thank you!
