How can I delay an ajax call in jQuery?

Is there a way to delay an ajax request from executing until an animation finished?

var showAjaxLoader = function(selector) {
    $("." + selector).fadeToggle("slow");
    $("." + selector).parent().html('<img src="ajax-loader.gif" />').fadeIn();
};

$(".add, .delete")
    .bind("ajax:beforeSend", function(event, data, status, xhr) {
        showAjaxLoader(this.className);
});

Basically, the response of the request will replace the lay contents, but I don't want this to happen until the effect took place. Otherwise the image will just pop up with no effect...

Just use callback, as in the .fadeToggle(), .fadeIn() and .fadeOut() documentation. Make AJAX call within this callback.

And I believe you do not want to make request even when fading out that box (at least I don't see the reason here), but only when fading in.

U can use a callback methode for when the animation is finished:

$("p").fadeToggle("slow", function () {
   $("div").append("<div>finished animation</div>");
   // Here you can put your ajax request
});
