Question

Thanks for reading this in advance.

I am trying to get a message to appear that gives my users a warning. I have successfully done this, but when I repeat the action that my function uses, the message is not appearing again.

Any help would be appreciated!

//take 5 seconds off the timer
                var count = parseInt($('.timerCount').html());
                $('.timerCount').html(count - 5);
                $('.timerWarnings').html("5 seconds has been deducted from the timer");
                $('.timerWarnings').fadeOut("slow");

If you fade out an element, it stays hidden until you tell it not to be. Do .show().fadeOut() to ensure the element starts off visible.
