I wonder why the folks at jQ head quarters don't must make timer function so we don't have to play tricks? Seems pretty simple.
Thanks for pointing me back to the section you wrote on queued effects. You know I read this and somehow the chaining escaped me, I think because your nicely formatted multiline code was not as intuitive to me as when the functions are all on the same line. When I saw the effects connected by periods it HIT ME. Maybe that just the way I digest info. The call back example was much harder for me to follow. I would have liked to have seen it with an ID name and not "this" and I would have liked a simpler example where these was not the need for a variable to keep it stable. It seemed to me that Callbacks deserved much more explanation and hand holding then 2 pages. More simple examples (like the one you did with the background color on p 72 to make that actually work would be cool.

That in itself deserves its own page but the use of animate as a delay timer is really awesome. I could not understand the example before I knew jQuery, but now I can. Hi Mitch, I'm glad you liked that trick! Thanks for the suggestion on writing a separate article about inserting HTML on the fly. I'll try to write something up within the next week or so. --Karl p.s. Since I know you own the book, I thought I'd point you to pages 70 - 76 for more information about simultaneous versus queued effects. p.p.s. Thanks for the wonderful review on amazon.com! It's really, really appreciated. _________________ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com
