Hi.

I've got a simple little page I'm building for our fleet inspectors.
Trying to make it look nicer.

The issue I'm coming up against is the single threaded nature of
JavaScript (I think that's the issue I coming up against).

The onSuccess() callback reads Response.responseJSON.Order.Details and
uses a template to add the details to the page.

The template is ...

var tmpl_Wheel = new Template('<div class="vsWheel"
style="display:none"
id="Wheel_#{Wheel}"><h2>#{Position}</h2><div>#{Description}</div><div>#{Serial}</div><div>#{Date}</div><div>#{Supplier}</div><div>#{Depot}</div></div>');

As you can see, the style is display:none, so that I can add a
progressive reveal to the wheels.

The trouble is, I can't call the new Effect.Appear('Wheel_' + Wheel)
because it doesn't exist yet.

So.

I've got the "add the wheels to the display" code as ...

var s_Wheels = '';
o_Response.responseJSON.Order.each(function(o_Wheel){
        s_Wheels = s_Wheels + tmpl_Wheel.evaluate(o_Wheel);
});
$('vsWheels').update(s_Wheels);

And then I want to add the effect.

o_Response.responseJSON.Order.each(function(o_Wheel){
        new Effect.Appear(
                'Wheel_' + o_Wheel.Wheel,{
                        delay    : 0.25 * parseInt(o_Wheel.Wheel, 10),
                        duration : 0.50,
                        from     : 0.00,
                        to       : 1.00
                }
        );
});


Initially, the effect was in the same loop (with each wheel being
updated as it went).

But this isn't working either.

What options do I have for this?

Essentially, the data comes in via AJAX and I want it to appear one
wheel at a time, with each wheel being slightly delayed so that they
appear smoothly.

Regards,

Richard Quadling.
