How do I keep this function running? For example, after I fade out the element, I want to fade it back in, then fade out and so on.

Thanks,

Prasant

that will use that original fadeout function that jquery uses.

so what your telling Zach is that do this instead :

$(“#d”).fadeIn();
$(“#d”).fadeOut();

so he won’t be using the new function that was posted above.
I copied it too and I can’t get it to work.

$(this).idle(2000).click(ClickEvent);

and the problem was that it couldn’t find anything to attach the click event after the idle event.

I suggest these articles: http://api.jquery.com/queue/ and http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.queue/

The code does not work…
My element fades in but not back out
I cut and pasted the code where it belongs and invoked it as such:
$(“#d”).fadeIn().idle(5000).fadeOut();

code above was:

(function($){
jQuery.fn.idle = function(time){
var i = $(this);
i.queue(function(){
setTimeout(function(){
i.dequeue();
}, time);
});
};
})(jQuery);

any help would be appreciated
