I needed jQuery to fadeout an item after a certain timeout, and I found it odd that I couldn’t find a native jQuery way to do it.

Whatever. jQuery is so awesome that it doesn’t matter, because here’s what I came up with.

(function($){
  $.doAfter = function(time,f) {
    $('body').animate({ opacity: 1 }, time, f);
  };
})(jQuery);
$(document).ready(function(){
  $.doAfter(2500,function() {
    $('.fadeout').fadeOut('slow');
  });
});
