[jQuery] Re: using setTimeout to apply fade-in effect to multiple divs in sequence

That's pretty useful Balazs, for some reason I couldn't get it to worked though. I saved your plugin bit that appears in that link in a file and named it jquery.asynceach.js and linked it to the page. Anyway, I'll play around with it a little more to see where the problem is. Thanks again On Jan

I've actually made a bit nicer abstraction as a jQuery plugin a while ago, I think it's much more useful for such things, I almost forgot about it: http://jsbin.com/unini/edit This is how your code looks like with it: $("#container :first-child").asyncEach(function(){ $(this).fadeIn('slow'); }

Thank you so much for the reply. I had figured it out but your way is much more elegant. here's what I had done: $(".box").hide(); var currentBox = $("#container :first-child"); fadeMyBoxes(currentBox); function fadeMyBoxes(thisbox){ thisbox.fadeIn('slow');

It can be done with setInterval too but doing it recursively with setTimeout is a bit better: var i=0, elements=$('.box'), length=elements.length; function fade(delay){ elements.eq(i++).fadeOut(); if(i<=length) setTimeout(arguments.callee, delay); //arguments.callee is a reference
