Migrating from scriptaculous to jquery, what are the chances

1

That my scriptaculous function is at all portable. I’m doing the same effect, slide.

     <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" charset="utf-8">
// <![CDATA[
  function startTimeline() {
new Effect.SlideDown('slidebar', { duration: 3.0, afterFinish:
function() {new Effect.SlideUp('slidebar', { delay: 7.5, duration: 3.0});}
});
 }
// ]]>
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">startTimeline()</script>
