Question

I have a button that when clicked, gets the row in the table that was clicked on.

$("#someId").remove();

I want to highlight the row that is being deleted, and fade it out (it is being deleted).

Is there a way to do this with jQuery?

I tried a fadeout with remove, but that didn’t achieve what I wanted.

$("#someId").fadeOut("slow").remove();

In order to do highlighting, you’ll need to check out color animations. There is an official JQuery color plugin that you can get in order to do color change animations with the animate function. Once you have it, you should be able to accomplish everything in a manner similar to this:

$("#someId").animate( {backgroundColor:'yellow'}, 1000).fadeOut(1000,function() {
    $('#someId').remove();
});
