FadeIn and FadeOut with jQuery

I am having some trouble fading in and out my Submit button. The animation works as I want but with a minor issue.

When I enter in the form info, on my contact page, and hit Submit, the Submit button fades out and the success message fades in. This is correct except the fades on the Submit button doesn't seem to finish fading before display is set to none. It animates close to the end and then disappears before it finishes. This makes the animation look jerky.
I want the animation to be smooth all the way to the end.

Here is my site: www.skurat.com
Submit an email form and you will see what I am talking about.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Tony

Where is the fadeout code rather than searching for it..?
I suspect you probably just need to cover it with a function

$('submitid').fadeOut('slow', function() {
// add code to fade in success

});

Here is the code:

var getName = $('#name').val(),
			    message = '<h5>Thanks, <b>' + getName + '</b>!</h5><h5>Your message has been sent.</h5>'			
			
            $('#submit, .sending').fadeOut(1600);

            $('.mess').delay(4000).html(message).fadeIn('fast', function () {
			   $('#form').clearForm();
			   $(this).delay(5000).fadeOut('slow', function() {         
                $('#submit').fadeIn('slow');
            });	
			});

I have already tried what you said and it doesn't seem to work.
This code can be found in custom.js.

Should the success be fading in as the submit fades out or waiting til the submit button is completely faded out?

It doesn't really matter. I just want the button to fade correctly.

Not sure how this is different from what I have.

Updated:

$('#submit, .sending').fadeOut('slow', function (){
				$('.mess').delay(1000).html(message).fadeIn('fast', function () {
			   $('#form').clearForm();
			   $(this).delay(5000).fadeOut('slow', function() {         
                $('#submit').fadeIn('slow');
            });	
			});				
			});

Open in new window

Still does the same thing.

I don't have time right now to rewrite your code but you need to encapsulate the order of things so they run after each other.
So in your ajax call set the sending to show, on successful call back hide the submit/sending and show the success message or an error message

I'm still not understanding. To simplify things I have removed sending from showing.

$('#submit').fadeOut('slow', function (){
		$('.mess').delay(1000).html(message).fadeIn('fast', function () {
			   $('#form').clearForm();
			   $(this).delay(5000).fadeOut('slow', function() {         
                                   $('#submit').fadeIn('slow');
                           });	
		  });				
});

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for the help.
