Definition and Usage

The clearQueue() method stops all functions in the queue that have not yet been executed.

Different from the stop() method (only applicable to animations), clearQueue() can clear any queued functions (any functions added to the general jQuery queue via the .queue() method).

Syntax

$(selector).clearQueue(queueName)
Parameters Description
queueName

Optional. Specifies the name of the queue to stop.

The default is "fx", the standard effect queue.
