Can jquery animations be chained programmatically?

Question

I have this code:

jQuery(\'#flash\').animate({opacity: 0.35}, 200)
                .animate({opacity: 0}, 200)
                .animate({opacity: 0.35}, 200)
            


        

Answer 1

There is a shorter alternative, using the extension jquery-timing:

Animate a given number of times:

$('#flash').repeat().animate({opacity:0.35}, 200)
    .animate({opacity:0}, 200).until(10);

As endless loop:

$('#flash').repeat().animate({opacity:0.35},200).animate({opacity:0},200,$);

For details see the API of .repeat(), .until(count), and .animate(…,$).
