[jQuery] form effect

[jQuery] form effect


Hello @all,
I have made a mailform and if the user click on the submit button the
mailform should first dissapear before post the message. I had tried
the follow way:
$("form").submit(function () {
            if ($("#div1").is(":visible")) {
                  $("#div1").animate({
                     height:'hide',
                     opacity:'hide'
                },"slow","easeInOutCirc");
            };
        });
But the effect could not work because the form is post the message
promptly. There has to be a timeout or something like this but I don´t
know how...:-(
best regard
Frika
