I haven't looked at what _javascript_ is generated but your function for your effect needs to block so the ajax request doesn't execute until it's finished... This is usually best accomplished through callbacks.
function myFx(element, callback) {
if (element.pixelHeight > 0) {
element.height = element.pixelHeight - 5;
setTimeout(function(){myFx(element, callback)}, 150);
} else {
callback();
}
}
function doAjax() {
ajaxRequest...
function: response(){
...
callMyFxFunction();
...
}
...
}
<div doAjax)">Content to be loaded by ajax when clicked</div>
That's a very crude example (code is not tested), but shows most all of the concepts.

the big problem being that you pause the server thread. now instead of 70ms it takes what? 3000ms? all because of _javascript_ effects? it makes it easy for someone to ddos your site, or at the least lower your throughput significantly.
this is a bad solution. the blocking needs to happen on the client side. i am no _javascript_ guru either, but i would try to find a client side solution.

Thanks for the clarification Igor. I ended up achieving the desired affect by
using an AjaxCallDecarator in combination with a server side pause.
Basically I was trying to do the following:
1) Run animation effect on element
2) Use Ajax request to replace element
3) Run another animation effect on the element
As you noticed, I needed a way to block so that #2 and #3 would not step on
#1. As a non-_javascript_ guru I was unable to find a way to block the
_javascript_ "thread" without some kind of CPU beating hack loop. However, the
solution I am using seems to work well.
In my efforts to accomplish this I have built some pretty interesting
subclasses of AjaxEventBehavior that might be worth contributing. They
basically allow you to cleanly add pre/post visual effects to components
around an Ajax event.
