jQuery clearQueue() Method

jQuery Effect Methods : Stop the remaining functions in the queue

Definition and Usage

The clearQueue() method removes all items from the queue that have not yet been run. Note that when a function has started to run, it runs until it is completed.

Related methods:

  • queue() - Shows the queued functions
  • dequeue() - Removes the next function from the queue, and then executes the function
  • Tip: Unlike the stop() method (that only works with animation), the clearQueue() method can remove any queued functions.
