From what I remember, you have to do this, when pausing for effects: target.children("div.middle").html(stuff).pause(2000, 'fx').slideDown("slow"); Karl recently wrote about a neat trick to achieve the same without the pause plugin: http://www.learningjquery.com/2007/01/effect-delay-trick Just do this: target.children("div.middle").html(stuff).pause(2000, 'fx').animate({opacity: 1}, 2000).slideDown("slow"); -- Klaus _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
