[jQuery] How to block a function while another finishes? (and pause!)

[jQuery] How to block a function while another finishes? (and pause!)

Thanks to both of you! :) this is exactly what I
needed.
Question 2: is there a way to pause the slidedown from
happening? I notice there's a pause() plugin, I dl'ed
that and attempted to chain it such as:
target.slideUp("slow", function() {

target.children("div.middle").html(stuff).pause(2000).slideDown("slow");
});
But alas, no pause happened.
thanks,
