Animation queue and the Slide UI effect

Animation queue and the Slide UI effect

I'm fairly new to jQuery and web site design in general, so I was wondering if I could get some assistance with an issue.

I have 3 separate slide effects going off in one function, but the animations are all going off at the same time.

I thought that there is an animation queue in jQuery to prevent this type of behavior.

I've tried to create a queue and manually force the steps to go one by one, but they just aren't behaving.

Is there any extra steps I need to take to get these effects to queue properly?
