jQuery: Can I call delay() between addClass() and such?

Hello I have an issue.

The below jQuery code is not working for me..

$("#message").addClass("highlightError").delay(15000).removeClass("highlightError");

What's the error?

The class in not even added..I checked with Firebug, no errors are shown..

Please help

Thanks!|

Solution

  • removeClass is not used by the effects queue, so delay has no effect on it. To cause it to be called in the effects queue, manually add it using queue():

    $(function(){
    $("#message").addClass("highlightError").delay(2000).queue(function(){
        $(this).removeClass("highlightError");
        $(this).dequeue();
    });
});
