I'm using the following code to animate a div. When the animation finishes I would like to remove it.
<script>
$(function() {
$("a.shift").click(function() {
$("#introOverlay").animate({
height: 0,
}, 2000)
});
});
</script>
Any help?
Thanks
Use window.timeout with the same amount of time as taken by the animation.
JQuery animate(params, [duration], [easing], [callback] ) offers the possibility to add a callback that is called for every time the animation is completed
callback (Optional) Function: A function to be executed whenever the animation completes, executes once for each element animated against.
The syntax is pretty much jQuery straightforward:
<script>
$(function() {
$("a.shift").click(function() {
$("#introOverlay").animate({
height: 0,
}, 2000, "linear",
function() {
$("#introOverlay").hide();
}
)
});
})
</script>

animate takes 2 more params, so you could do:
$("a.shift")
.click(function()
{
$("#introOverlay")
.animate({height: 0}, 2000,"linear",function()
{
$(this).remove();
}
)
}
);
Untested.
EDIT: Tested: here's the full page I used, which expands to 300px make removal more obvious:
