Edit Question
Title
Body
I am trying to create what I think is referred to as a "Waterfall". I want to sequentially process an array of async functions (jQuery promises). Here's a contrived example: function doTask(taskNum){ var dfd = $.Deferred(), time = Math.floor(Math.random()*3000); setTimeout(function(){ console.log(taskNum); dfd.resolve(); },time) return dfd.promise(); } var tasks = [1,2,3]; for (var i = 0; i < tasks.length; i++){ doTask(tasks[i]); } console.log("all done"); I would like it to complete the task in the order they are executed (present in the array). So, in this example I want it to do task 1 and wait for it to resolve then do task 2 wait for it to resolve, do task 3 etc and the log "all done". Maybe this is really obvious but I've been trying to figure this out all afternoon.
