[jQuery] Re: Wait until animation completed - callback?
But he will still want to trigger the animation on mouseover of that
second unspecified element at some point after initiating the previous
animation, regardless of the existence of $('.slide_started') or just
using the :animated selector.
At that point he will be forced to throw in a timer of some kind,
because the previous animation (and it's callback) will already be
well underway so he can't retrospectively add the new animation into
the previous one's callback, he can only start executing new code from
that point.
waiting isn't great but it seems to be all you can do without
investing a fair chunk of resources. i'll post if i can knock up some
code that lets you interrupt a callback properly, i have an idea how
it can be done but it ain't pretty.

If you're dealing with multiple items with animation and don't want
them to overlap the animation, then try using jQuery to manipulate the
class attribute to store the state (e.g. slide_started,
slide_ended). I don't think using the timeout is the best way.

you might be able to do something clever with a conditional to
determine if there was a menu animation happening on the initial
mouseover event, and if there was checking the element now under the
cursor in the callback, but since you have limited access to the
callback of any existing events in progress you're always going to hit
the problem of not being able to fully utilise that.
i'd be tempted to .stop() anything that's :animated on mouseover
before you start the new .fadeTo() ;)

[jQuery] Re: Wait until animation completed - callback?
Here is some code that more or less does what the OP wanted by
intercepting the callback. It's just a proof of concept i found was
vaguely interesting coming up with, so for god's sake don't actually
use it for anything (it's bad coding and highly likely to break
anyway!)

I don't know how complex the user interface you're making, but if
you're asking for a callback after completing the slideToggle()
animation, then overload the method with a second argument which is
the callback function.
$('#51').slideToggle('fast, function() {
// Do something after element's animation completes.
});
