Question

I have a jquery statement as follows:

$('.panel.col2, .panel.col3').fadeOut('fast', function(){
    //SOME CODE
});

The problem is that these elements do not always exist, and I need it to execute the callback regardless of the success of the statement the callback belongs to. Is there any workaround to this?

Answer 1

Try something like this:

function myCallback(){
   //SOME CODE
}

if($('.panel.col2, .panel.col3').length>0){

   $('.panel.col2, .panel.col3').fadeOut('fast', function(){
       myCallback();
   });
} else {
   myCallback();
}
