jQuery slideRemove()

I’ve often run into times that I have wanted to use jquery to fade an element, and slide up the open space, and then remove the element from the page. I’ve written a small jQuery function to handle this.

jQuery.fn.slideRemove = function(callback) {
  $(this).blur().fadeTo('medium', 0, function() { // fade
  $(this).slideUp('medium', function() {   // slide up
  $(this).remove();                        // remove from DOM
  if (callback) { callback(); }
  });
  });
  return this;
};
