jqueryHow do I use a jQuery queue?


The jQuery queue is a powerful tool that can be used to store functions for later execution. It allows you to create a queue of functions that can be executed in sequence or in parallel.

To use a jQuery queue, you can use the queue() method. This method takes two arguments: a name for the queue and a callback function. The callback function will be executed when the queue is empty.

Example code

$("#myDiv").queue("myQueue", function(next) {
  // Do something
  next();
});

The callback function takes one argument, next, which is a function that must be called when the current task is finished. This allows you to chain multiple tasks together.

Example code

$("#myDiv").queue("myQueue", function(next) {
  // Do something
  next();
});

$("#myDiv").queue("myQueue", function(next) {
  // Do something else
  next();
});

You can also use the dequeue() method to remove a function from the queue.

Example code

$("#myDiv").dequeue("myQueue");

You can also use the clearQueue() method to remove all functions from the queue.

Example code

$("#myDiv").clearQueue("myQueue");
