Question

What I would like is very simple, but I am struggling with the syntax. When my element clicked, I would like my animate to be triggered and just after the .css(). Thank you in advance for your help. Cheers. Marc.

$('.content').click(function() {
    $('#contentWrapper').animate({
        "left": "-=475px"}, "fast"), 
    $(this).prev().css("display": "none");
});

Answer 1

Almost. You need to pass the complete argument on animate a function reference:

$('.content').click(function() {
    $('#contentWrapper').animate({
        "left": "-=475px"}, "fast", function () {
            $(this).prev().css("display", "none");
        }
    );
});

(Also, your syntax for css was a bit off, you wanted , instead of :)
