I am sure I read about this the other day but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
I have a fadeOut() event after which I remove the element, but jQuery is removing the element before it has the chance to finish fading out.
How do I get jQuery to wait until the element had faded out, then remove it?

You can specify a callback function:

$(selector).fadeOut('slow', function() {
    // will be called when the element finishes fading out
    // if selector matches multiple elements it will be called once for each
});
