Answer 1

If you can't use the delay method as Robert Harvey suggested, you can use setTimeout.

Eg.

setTimeout(function() {$("#test").animate({"top":"-=80px"})} , 1500); // delays 1.5 sec
setTimeout(function() {$("#test").animate({"opacity":"0"})} , 1500 + 1000); // delays 1 sec after the previous one
