My untested stab, with a callback:
var jquery = $(/*select stuff*/),
position = 0;
var handler = function() {
if(position < jquey.length)
$(jquery[position++]).show("slow", handler);
};
handler();
This doesn't look too bad, does it? I hope it helps.
Not that I select the current DOM element via jquery[index] and wrap that into
a jQuery again. Using eq(index) would be more elegant, but kills my original
object, forcing me to use end().
