[17:18:17 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> Which I recommend
[17:19:44 CDT(-0500)] <travis_84> so setTimeout can help me empty and remove class after slideUp?
[17:59:33 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> Yes
[18:00:06 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> Just put the function which achieves the effect you want as the 1st argument to setTimeout
