Race condition (sync/async) bug in remove

[PSS]

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)

});

Trying some code formatting here...

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)

});

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

    jQuery('div#somethingelse').remove(); 
    content_text = jQuery('div#something').html(); 
    jQuery('div#something').after('<hr>' + content_text)

}); 

---

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

});

Thanks for the report, but this is not a jQuery bug. The callback passed to slideToggle is executed asynchronously; this is how JavaScript works. You cannot do what you are trying to do. Please use the ​jQuery Forum for support requests.
