[jQuery] Re: how can I wait until blockUI shows

[Mike Alsup]

 I am very new to jquery, so please excuse my maybe newbie question :)
 I have a following problem:
 when I call blockUI and execute JS afterwards, the blockUI shows after
 the JS finished executing.
 When I put alert after calling blockUI, it shows right after alert
 pops up. I suppose, that without the alert the IE is too busy
 executing JS and therefore does not show the blockUI. The question is,
 how can I give blockUI time to show before rest of JS is executed.


Use a timeout for that.   Something like this:

$.blockUI();
setTimeout(function() {
// do other stuff
...

$.unblockUI();

}, 100);

 Use a timeout for that.   Something like this:

 $.blockUI();
 setTimeout(function() {
     // do other stuff
     ...

     $.unblockUI();

 }, 100);
