How to get jQuery to wait until an effect is finished

Question

I am sure I read about this the other day but I can t seem to find it anywhere  I have a fadeOut   event after which I remove the element  but jQuery is removing the element before it has the chance to finish fading out  How do I get jQuery to wait until the element had faded out  then remove it

You can specify a callback function     selector  fadeOut  slow   function            will be called when the element finishes fading out        if selector matches multiple elements it will be called once for each       Documentation here

if its something you wish to switch  fading one out and fading another in the same place  you can place a  position absolute  attribute on the divs  so both the animations play on top of one another  and you don t have to wait for one animation to be over before starting up the next

You can as well use   when   to wait until the promise finished   var myEvent   function            selector   fadeOut   fast          when  myEvent     done  function         console log   Task finished             In case you re doing a request that could as well fail  then you can even go one step further     when  myEvent          done  function  d             console log  d   Task done                   fail  function  err             console log  err   Task failed                     Runs always      then  function  data  textStatus  jqXHR             console log  jqXHR status  textStatus   Status 200  OK
