Quick Javascript question for a newbie :)

[VJ]

okay, i'm using jQuery but i don't think that makes a difference?
basically, I've got this code


$("input").click(function() {
$("#answerform").slideUp("fast").delay(400);
$("#log").html( "answering: " + $(":checked").val() );
$("#" + $(":checked").val()).after($("#answerform"));
$("#answerform").slideDown("slow");
});


Currently, it appears to do everything at the same time...
Is there a way I can get it run as a script? like each line after another?

It will do everything at the same time because thats what its being told to do, you will need to to use a while loop, if statements, etc

Javascript is single threaded and therefore will NOT wait for an animation to finish before going to the next, many animations use callback functions to queue. e.g.


$('#some-id').fadeOut('slow', function() {
$('#some-id').fadeIn('slow');
});

you can specify your animations in order by using callbacks, or you can use jQuery queues
