Question

I need to fade items from an array in and out continuously and I’m currently doing it as such:

var rotateHint = function() {
var hints = ['fe','fi','fo','fum'];
var hint;
var p = (function() {
    if (!hint || !hint.length) hint = hints.slice();
         return hint.splice(Math.random() * hint.length | 0, 1);
}())
$('#hint').text(p) //THE ERROR IS HERE...
          .fadeIn()
          .delay(1000)
          .fadeOut(200,function(){ 
            rotateHint();
            })
};

However it seems that .text(p) isn’t working however if I look at p with an alert(p) the output is sound.

Answer 1

It seems to be working only from jQuery 1.7
Previous versions throw an error

But it’s kind of weird to do a text() on an array no?
