Hello Mike, thank you for your support. It was the right direction. In the beginnig it won´t work anyway, but now it did :-):
$("#form1").submit(function () { if ($("#div1").is(":visible")) { $("#div1").animate({ height:'hide', opacity:'hide' },"slow","easeInOutCirc",function() {document.form1.submit();} // submit the form manually in animate callback ); };return false; }); regards Frika
