Question

I’m using jQuery version 1.7.1 from Google CDN and have the following code:

$(menuInstance).delay(2000).removeClass('loading').html(ul);

However the delay is ignored and it moves straight onto my remove class and insert HTML. Any ideas why the delay is being ignored? Thanks

You can’t use .delay like that. You need to use setTimeout.

setTimeout(function() {
  $(menuInstance).removeClass('loading').html(ul);
}, 2000);

delay can only be used for animation queues.
