Ah… yep; previously I failed to see in your first example that your code was actually calling alert immediately, rather than wrapping it in an anonymous function like so:

Effect.toggle(boxID, ’slide’, { afterFinish: function(){ alert($(’parent’).getHeight()); } });

Hi, n I didn’t need to go that far, I simply defined the function as a variable and passed it to the toggle constructor:

var mycallback = function() {
alert(”it now works!”);
};

Effect.toggle(boxID, ’slide’, { afterFinish:mycallback });

This worked fine, probably a slightly different problem (like me not doing it right) than the squish problem, but thanks for the reply nevertheless =)

Did you try the callback fix? I discovered the link in the post was broken and have updated it as well.

Let me know if that solution works for you.

Hello, any luck with this? Appreciate this post is old but I’m using Effect.toggle and I need to call a function when it finishes. I’ve used:

Effect.toggle(boxID, ’slide’, { afterFinish:alert($(’parent’).getHeight()) });

But the alert appears before the effect finishes…
