I need the variable ‘gv’ to have the value of a button, i did this with this.value and it worked as alerts give the right values. but once i gave that variable to the speed parameter of an animation, it didn’t work.

i tried giving the variable right at the animation, but that didn’t work either. i also tried to give the animation random value’s to see if it was effected, and it was. but the variable doesn’t do anything at all.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("button").click(function() {
    var GV = this.value;
    $("#ball").animate({
      bottom: "0px"
    }, GV);
  })
});

butt on

i expect the animation to pull the div to the bottom at the speed of 18999 milliseconds, but it pulls at 800 milliseconds
