I am at a dead end, so hoping you jQuery gurus can help.
I have a total of 10 elements (actually small images) on a page. I need to animate them like this:
- first 2 show up
- then the next 2 show up
- then the next 3 show up
- then the next 1 shows up
- then the last 2 show up
So, I have added attributes to each one (sequence_num = "1" (or 2 or 3 etc) so I can easily choose via the $() which ones to animate using the animate() function.)
My goal is to write a function that does the animation (I can do that - i think i have grasped the animate() function).
What I am getting stuck on is how to delay the animation so the proper groups of objects are animated in before the next group starts. I have tried the queue parameter of the animate() function, but that doesn't seem to work for what I am trying to do.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
