Don't Animate X If Animation X Already Running (inside keyup)

Question

The way it\'s currently written causes the hide to fire over and over if msg.d starts returning \'false\' from \'true\' until enough time has passed for the animation to sto

Answer 1

As above suggest use the ":animated" seclector

if(msg.d == "true") {
    var contact = $("#addContactEmailError");

    if(!contact.is(":visible") && !contact.is(":animated")) {
         contact.show('bounce');
    }
    $("#addContactSubmitButton").attr("disabled", true);
}
else {
    if(contact.is(":visible") && !contact.is(":animated")) {
         contact.hide('slide', { direction: "up" });
    }
    $("#addContactSubmitButton").attr("disabled", false);
}
