Question

Today I explored something weird: jQuery Address do not work in jQuery callbacks:

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Your binding to the init event of the address, which is triggered before the callback.
You can see that if you change the fadein timer to 0:

$("#second").fadeIn(0, function() {

jQuery.address.init(function(event) {
    alert("jQuery Address - inside");
});
alert("Sorry for the many alerts");
});

It’s callback will run immediately, binding the init event handler which will be invoked and shoot of the alert (all from in the callback). Timing is everything 🙂
