Why can't I delay a remove call with jQuery

I would like for a div to fadeOut and then be removed:

 $(\'#div\').delay(1000).fadeOut(300);
 $(\'#div\').delay(1300).remove();

Unfortunately,

You can try something like this.

$('#div').delay(1000).fadeOut(300,function(){
    setTimeout(function(){
      $('#div').remove()
    } ,1300);

});

I think it works as it should. Hope it helps
