Question

I have a problem to access temp in the anonymous function. the toggle works just fine. This is the workaround because I was not able to set callback functions to the .toggle()

I would wish to .toggle("drop", 200, function(){}); and in the function I call the second toggle to show the element when the text changed. I wasn’t getting this working so I tried the setTimeout workaround but this won’t work as well. Please tell me how can I access temp in it or how can I use the callback of .toggle()?

for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
  var temp = array[i].split("&");

  setTimeout(function(){
    $('td[vvalue="'+temp[0] + '"] > a').text("A");
  }, 300);

  $('td[vvalue="'+temp[0] + '"]').toggle("drop", 200);
  $('td[vvalue="'+temp[0] + '"]').toggle("drop", 200);
}

I think it could be an issue with your selector rather than the temp value in the function:

$('td[vvalue="'+temp[0] + '"] > a').text("A");

should probably be:

$('td[value="'+temp[0] + '"] > a').text("A");

Notice the spelling error on “value”. td elements do not have a value attribute. You may want to rethink your markup. If you need a custom attribute, html5 has the new data- attributes for custom attributes.
