#7 Await custom conditions through functions

Await custom conditions through functions

This page waits for a function to return true, then executes a JavaScript function with turnOn and passes a domAttribute as parameter. The executed JavaScript then triggers thirdparty library code, which modifies the DOM element in the page that causes an animation.


In this tutorial you'll learn how to:
  • Execute a JavaScript function after a custom condition was met
Look at the element below to see the effect.
