I came across an interesting plugin today on my travels around the web:
http://blog.jcoglan.com/2007/10/30/asynchronous-function-chaining-in-javascript
It's interesting, because it's a setTimeout plugin but is coded so it
can be chained along my event queue. For example, in my code before I
had:
$(self).animate({top: -90, opacity: 0.9}, 2000);
setTimeout(function() {
$(self).animate({ top: -150, opacity: 0 }, 1000);
}, 5000);
But using this plugin, I can now do:
$(self).animate({top: -90, opacity: 0.9}, 2000).wait(5).then.animate({
top: -150, opacity: 0 }, 1000);
To me, this makes a lot of sense, and also looks more jQuery-like.
Kudos for the developer for making this one.
