How do I stop an effect in jQuery
<p>I have a page that uses </p>

<pre><code>$(id).show("highlight", {}, 2000);
</code></pre>

<p>to highlight an element when I start a ajax request, that might fail so that I want to use something like</p>

<pre><code>$(id).show("highlight", {color: "#FF0000"}, 2000);
</code></pre>

<p>in the error handler. The problem is that if the first highlight haven't finished, the second is placed in a queue and wont run until the first is ready. Hence the question: Can I somehow stop the first effect?</p>
