For people still looking a couple of years later, things have changed a bit. You can now use the queue
for .fadeIn()
as well so that it will work like this:
$('.tooltip').fadeIn({queue: false, duration: 'slow'});
$('.tooltip').animate({ top: "-10px" }, 'slow');
This has the benefit of working on display: none
elements so you don't need the extra two lines of code.
