How can I fade out a div using jQuery?

Question

Is there any way to fadeout a div after 5 Seconds without using a setTimeOut function?

Answer 1

everyone knows that in jquery 1.4 there's a delay function now, right?

$('#div').delay(5000).fadeOut(400)

that's how you do it, without having to add any custom functions or plug-ins. it's native to jquery 1.4
