I have a solution to
this problem, but I'd like to know if there is a more common solution that
doesn't require modifications to the Effects code. I wonder if I'm doing
something that made a non-problem a problem.
Almost any of the
Scripts demos have a race condition... if the script is called again (new
instance of the effect), before the first instance completes, the final
element may have different characteristics than the
original.
A good demo of this
is the Effects.Highlight
Note the color of
the element on page load. Click several times, being sure to click while
the highlight is in progress. The final color of the element will not
match the original. Subsequent instances of the Highlight effect have
captured the background color "in progress" and restored the final background
color to the "in progress" color.
I had to add code to
gate requests to Highlight when in progress. It required a modification to
Highlight to callback on completion to open the gate.
