Jquery: Fade multiple elements one after the other

Question

Hello,

is there any possible solution, to fadeIn(500) multiple list elements one after the other?

<ul id="list">
 <li>test</li>
 <li>test</li>
 <li>test</li>
 <li>test</li>
 <li>test</li>
</ul>

Kind Regards, Werner

Answer 1

You could do a recursive function that stops when there's no LI left like this:

function fadeLI(elem) { 
  elem.fadeIn(500, function() { fadeLI($(this).next()); }); 
}                            
fadeLI($("#list li:first")​);​

You want a recursive function to check if there is another li element, and fade it in if so...

function fadeInNext(el){
  if(el.next('li')){
    el.next('li').fadeIn(500,fadeInNext)
  }
}
$('...').fadeIn( 500, fadeInNext )
