DISQUS

Take a look at the event system in dojo. That may be able to do what you want.

Thanks Derek. It could be part of the solution I think.

Eh, why not...

function fQueue()
{
var pos = 0;
var queue = arguments;
return function()
{
if ( pos < queue.length )
queue[pos++]();
}
}

function DoThingOne(whenDone)
{
document.getElementById("Output").innerHTML += "Thing One!<br>";
whenDone();
}

function DoThingTwo(whenDone)
{
document.getElementById("Output").innerHTML += "Thing Two!<br>";
whenDone();
}

function DoThingThree(whenDone)
{
document.getElementById("Output").innerHTML += "Thing Three!<br>";
whenDone();
}

function DoThings()
{
var q = fQueue(
function(){DoThingOne(q);},
function(){DoThingTwo(q);},
function(){DoThingThree(q);});
q();
}


...no idea if that's close to what you're looking for, but if it is and you get rich, send me a pizza.
A *solid gold* pizza.
With pepperoni and mushrooms.
*Morel* mushrooms.

There are queues in the new version of script.aculo.us

see: http://www.railsdevelopment.com/2006/01/15/effe...

Then use the afterFinish option for executing arbitrary code when the effect is done.

why not use an array.

var queue = new Array()

//Enqueue
queue.push(obj);

//Dequeue
obj = queue.shift()
