I have html

<div id ="something">

something something something something something something

<div id="somethingelse">somethingelse</div>

something something something something something something

</div>

Then I slideToggle and then remove one div and copy parent contents to variable:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

jQuery('div#somethingelse').slideToggle(1500, function () { jQuery(this).remove(); });

content_text = jQuery('div#something').html();

jQuery('div#something').after('<hr>' + content_text)

});

As result the variable content_text has data BEFORE slidetoggle + removal. Wrong.

This works:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

jQuery('div#somethingelse').remove();

content_text = jQuery('div#something').html();

jQuery('div#something').after('<hr>' + content_text)

});

Is that as intended or a bug?

This does not work either:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

var content_text = "nothing";

jQuery('div#somethingelse').slideToggle(1500, function () { jQuery(this).remove(); content_text = jQuery('div#something').html(); });

//jQuery('div#somethingelse').remove();

jQuery('div#something').after('<hr>' + content_text)

});
