Question

Good evening all. I’m trying to do a fadeout with Jquery to a with unique id which works but after that, i delete the with simple function removeElement which works too. My problem is that the removeElement function kicks in so fast that you cannot see the slow transition of the fadeout. I tried using the Javascript native setTimeout function, but still no help.

var elem_comment_release_container = 'release_' + release_id + '_comment_' + comment_release_id;

//fade to <TR>...nice effect
$("#" + elem_comment_release_container).fadeTo('slow','0.00');

//removeElement(elem_comment_release_container)
setTimeout(removeElement(elem_comment_release_container),31000);

Answer 1

Remove from the callback:

$("#foo1").fadeOut("slow", function(){
    $(this).remove();
});
