Consider the following code:

        $form['actions']['submit']['#ajax'] = array(
            'wrapper' => 'apple-node-form',
            'callback' => 'node_add_callback',
            'method' => 'replace',
            'effect' => 'fade'
        );

This will produce a JavaScript fade animation. But how can I define my own animations? For example, 'effect' => 'myCustomAnimation'.

I'm really just looking for a way to be able to define my own JavaScript function, and have that function handle the AJAX request. I could just call .ajaxComplete() on the document and have a series of switch statements in there that figure out what to do with the response. But that's a bit hacky, and the switch statements (as well as the initial response parsing) would be additional logic. If I can just define right there in the $form array PHP code the JS function to be used, no ugly switch statement would be necessary.

It appears you need to install the interface elements library to add custom effects.

As indicated in the forms api.

http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer!topics!forms_api_reference.html/7

ajax['effect']

Description: Specifies the effect used when adding the content from an AJAX request.

Values: String. Possible values: 'none' (default), 'fade', 'slide'. If the interface elements library is installed, any effect with the name effectToggle may also be used.

I hope this helps :)
