jQuery help

[skmd]

Hi everybody:
I'm new to jQuery , I need after event to do an effect and after the effect completed do another effect, I tried to do it this way:

function hide(){
$('#output1').fadeIn('slow');
$('#add-comment').slideUp('slow');
}


but they appeared in the same time, can anybody help me with this.

Jquery's fadeIn() method takes a 'callback' method as a second, optional argument.

This would be the action it takes after completing the primary action.

e.g.
function hide() {

$('#output1').fadeIn('slow', function() { $('#add-comment').slideUp('slow')});

}

I tried to do it before but it didnt work. and your function has a missing $ sign

function hide() {

$('#output1').fadeIn('slow', function() {$('#add-comment').slideUp('slow')});

}


But thanks anyway :)

It should work fine. The problem may be elsewhere in your code.

Are you getting any errors reported?
Are you able to post the url?

Yes there was an error somewhere else in my code it works like a magic.
Thank you very much :)
