How do I queue non effects in an effect queue? Example:

page.visual\_effect(:fade, “content”, {:queue =\> {:scope =\> “content”,  
:position =\> “end”}})  
page.show(“content”)

I want page.show(“content”) to happen after the visual effect completes.  
Also, I already know about the :after\_update callback, but I have a more  
complex example in my app and the :after\_update callback does not work  
because I am not sure which effect is the last element in the queue.

Thanks for your help.

not sure if this would work winthin a rails helper, but give it a try.

page.visual\_effect(:fade, “content”, { :afterFinish =\> “function() {  
Element.show(‘content’) }” })
