Question

I know this doesn’t work:

$(‘#section’).html($(data), function()
{
$(‘#section’).fadeIn();
});

How would I go on writing it? It should be simply, but I’ve been away from jQuery for too long.
Thanks!

Answer 1

Do you want to call fadeIn after the html method is completed? You can simply do this,

$('#section')
    .html($(data))
    .fadeIn();

Above works because unlike the ‘animate’ methods, html method is synchronous. fadeIn method will be called only after html method has finished executing.
