jQuery Scale and Fade at the same time

Question

So I can make a div to scale nicely from it\'s center pivot: http://jsfiddle.net/uTDay/

However, the transition starts to change when I add in content inside the div: ht

I have taken my time on this one:

ALL boxes hide, and scale to their relative heights based on each elements properties.

Code, using a function variable to be DRY.

var hide_those_boxes = function () {
    $('.box , .box img').each(function(ix, obj) {
            $(obj).animate({
                opacity : 0, 
                left: '+='+$(obj).width()/4, 
                top: '+='+$(obj).height()/4,
                height:0, 
                width:0
            }, 
            3000, 
            function() { $(obj).hide(); }
        );
    });
}


$(".btn a").click(hide_those_boxes);
