Question

I have this line of JavaScript and the behavior I am seeing is that the selectedLi instantly disappears without ‘sliding up’. This is not the behavior that I expected.

What should I be doing so that the selectedLi slides up before it is removed?

selectedLi.slideUp('normal').remove(); 

Answer 1

Might be able to fix it by putting the call to remove in a callback arg to slideUp?

e.g

selectedLi.slideUp('normal', function() { $(this).remove(); } );
