javascript - Fade in original element without displaying secondary one? -

setinterval(function () {     $(".story1").fadeout(2000,function(){           $(".story2").fadein(2000, function(){               $(".story2").fadeout(2000)           });       })     }); 

that code have. story1 displayed on page when loaded, , trying fade out story1 story2 , fade out story2 fading in story1 (so there's endless loop of story1 fading out story2 , fading out story1 again etc. bit carousal, goes 1 2 3 1 again)

however, when story1 fades out , story2 fades in, keeps fading out , fading in story2 on , on again. i'm not sure how correct this?

it's future-proof things this, example if wanted add third story later, you'd able code:

var r = 0, stories = $(".stories").children();  setinterval(function () {    r = (r+1) % stories.length;        stories.fadeout(2000);    stories.eq(r).stop().fadein(2000);  }, 5000);

.stories {    position: relative;  }  .story {    position: absolute;    display: none;  }  .story:first-child {    display: block;  }

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>    <div class="stories">   <div class="story story1">lorem ipsum</div>   <div class="story story2">dolor sit amet</div>  </div>

not code shorter way, work no matter how many stories there (except zero, that's error anyway). feel free test 3 stories, or fifty!
