title: How to run two jQuery animations simultaneously?
body: <p>Is it possible to run two animations on two different elements simultaneously? I need the opposite of this question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/668104/jquery-queueing-animations">Jquery queueing animations</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I need to do something like this...</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#first').animate({ width: 200 }, 200);
  $('#second').animate({ width: 600 }, 200);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but to run those two at the same time. The only thing I could think of would be using <code>setTimeout</code> once for each animation, but I don't think it is the best solution.</p>
