Question

How would I slideDown a div and animate the width together.

The jquery docs website is down to look at an example. Could I maybe use the new promise() for this?

I have tried:

$foo.slideDown({duration:500},function(){
    $dropDown.animate({"width": 400}, 450);
});

And

$foo.slideDown({duration:500}).animate({"width": 400}, 450);

Both do one after the other.

Answer 1

try to clear the “queue”

$foo.slideDown({duration:500, queue:false}).animate({"width": 400}, 450);
