Question

With this function I want to submit data (res_id) to a script and fadeout the div by it’s id (using variable pos), the script is executed but the div won’t fade out. Why is that?

$('.remove_resort').click(function() {
    pos = $(this).attr("id");
    rem_res();
});

function rem_res() {
    $.get("/snowreport/request/remove.php", {
        res_id: pos
    }, function(data1) {
        pos.fadeOut("slow");
    });
}

Answer 1

pos contains the ID string, so you need $("#" + pos).fadeOut("slow")
