jQuery fade out then fade in


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!


Solution

  • 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();
