effect "highlight" displays hidden elements

[dmack]

With a full (but minimized) version of jQuery UI using the effect "highlight" on hidden elements (in my case : a hidden JQuery UI button) the button is shown after the animation / highlighting completes. This is now the second time i stumble upon wrong display-states of elements after using JQuery UI - effects or animations ... there is something wrong with the completion-procedures, someone should look into it

additional info : is enclosed the button in a table :

<table> <tbody> <tr> <td> {BUTTON} </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

and i was using the effect on the table-row (TR).

Hi dmack,

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery UI project. In order to assess this ticket we need a reduced test case that shows the issue. You can use this as a starting point ​http://jsfiddle.net/Vf4Gn/.

Thanks.

a case which is closer to my real code : ​http://jsfiddle.net/Vf4Gn/2/

interestingly, using the "edge"-version of JQuery and JQuery UI the bevaviour is vastly different - and in some cases, it behaves like expected ....

Thanks for contributing! According to ​http://api.jqueryui.com/highlight-effect/

"Description: The highlight effect hides or shows an element by animating its background color first."

Also, your fiddle was using a super old jQueryUI. Here's the fiddle using the latest version showing the correct and expected results: ​http://jsfiddle.net/Vf4Gn/

erm ... 1.9.2 is the CURRENT version, thats the exact opposite of "super-old"

1.10.2 is current jQueryUI, and the fiddle you provided here: ​http://jsfiddle.net/Vf4Gn/1/ is using 1.8.9
