jQuery fade out then fade in

Question

There's a bunch on this topic, but I havn't found an instance that applies well to my situation.

Fade a picture out and then fade another picture in. Instead, I'm running into an issue where the first fades out and immediately (before the animation is finished) the next fades in.

I read about this once and can't remember exactly what the trick was..

thanks for your help!

Answer 1

fade the other in in the callback of fadeout, which runs when fadeout is done. Using your code:

$('#two, #three').hide(); $('.slide').click(function(){     var $this = $(this);     $this.fadeOut(function(){ $this.next().fadeIn(); }); }); 

alternatively, you can just "pause" the chain, but you need to specify for how long:

$(this).fadeOut().next().delay(500).fadeIn();
