Use the jQuery callback function
You can utilize the jQuery callback function mechanism to stop events from firing until an effect is completely finished, such as doing something after slide animation or fade out transition is fully completed and so on. Let's take a look at an example to see how it works:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery Fire Events after an Effect is Over</title>
<style>
.box{
height: 300px;
display: none;
background: yellowgreen;
}
</style>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".box").slideDown(3000, function(){
$(".hint").text("Sliding is completed, now fading out.");
$(this).fadeOut(3000, function(){
$(".hint").text("Fading out completed.");
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="box"></div>
<p class="hint"></p>
</body>
</html>
