Question

Here is a jQuery script for sliding in letters, but how do I remove the last class of “fade out” so that the letters remain at their final position? Here is the demo:

and here is the script for it:

$(document).ready(function(){

  $('.container .flying-text').css({opacity:0});
  $('.container .active-text').animate({opacity:1, marginLeft: "350px"}, 1000);

  var int = setInterval(changeText, 1000);  


  function changeText(){

    var $activeText = $(".container .active-text"); 

    var $nextText = $activeText.next(); 
    if($activeText.next().length == 0) $nextText = $('.container .flying-text:first');

    $activeText.animate({opacity:0}, 1000);
    $activeText.animate({marginLeft: "-100px"});

    $nextText.css({opacity: 0}).addClass('active-text').animate({opacity:1, marginLeft: "350px"}, 500, function() {
      $activeText.removeClass('active-text');                                         
    });
  }
});

This is extremely easy, 2 modifications are required. Remove animation, and clear timeout. You should have been able to figure this out yourself.

$(document).ready(function(){

  $('.container .flying-text').css({opacity:0});
  $('.container .active-text').animate({opacity:1, marginLeft: "350px"}, 1000);

  var intval = setInterval(changeText, 1000);    

  function changeText() {
    var $activeText = $(".container .active-text"); 
    var $nextText = $activeText.next();

    if ($activeText.next().length == 0) clearInterval(intval);

    $nextText.css({opacity: 0}).addClass('active-text').animate({opacity:1, marginLeft: "350px"}, 500, function(){
      $activeText.removeClass('active-text');                                           
    });
  }
});
