im trying to have a rjs template update several elements… i want to fade out 3 or 4 elements, replace them, and then have them reappear, but its not updating correctly. Right now the transitions are choppy and don;t work to well, heres my code as of now… [http://pastie.caboo.se/51676](http://pastie.caboo.se/51676) im not sure the best way to queue actions and have them rendered properly, any help would be greatly appreciated ---

When I was experimenting with such effects, I found that the only way to get even reasonable effect transitions is to split up when effects are done. For example, blind up and fade out elements before posting the AJAX call, then have the RJS do the effect code to redisplay elements. Trying to get animations working together in the same RJS just wasn’t worth the effort, and it will most likely never be consistent across connections. Jason ---
