  <p>A lot of jquery functions allow for a callback. Most are in a syntax like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('.selector').slideUp('fast', function(){
      alert('slideUp has completed');
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I'm writing my own function, how can I make sure it is finished before the one after it is called (i.e. provide a callback parameter)</p>
