I'm trying to execute these removeClass calls in succession. There doesn't seem to be a call back function using removeClass so is there another way to emulate this?
$("#card1").removeClass('flip');
//wait for card1 flip to finish and then flip 2
$("#card2").removeClass('flip');
//wait for card2 flip to finish and then flip 3
$("#card3").removeClass('flip');
It seems that you're using CSS3 transition for doing this. The easiest way to do this is to set delay manually:
$("#card1").removeClass('flip');
setTimeout(function(){
//wait for card1 flip to finish and then flip 2
$("#card2").removeClass('flip');
}, 500);
setTimeout(function(){
//wait for card2 flip to finish and then flip 3
$("#card3").removeClass('flip');
}, 1000);
There's no built in jQuery method to check that css transition is complete.
