Issues with setTimeout() inside jQuery .each

Question

The following code will not work properly. I\'ve tried different variations & searching everywhere but no luck.

i = 1;
var timer = new Array();
jQuery(\'a\')         


        

Answer 1

Wrap remove element with a function

i = 1;
var timer = new Array();
jQuery('a').each(function($) {
    i++;
    var thiz = jQuery(this);
    timer[i] = setTimeout(function() { thiz.remove(); }, i * 5000);
})
