jQuery AddClass then removing a class

Question

In my Rails application, I send an Ajax request when the user hits the Save button, when it sends the request, I can return some jQuery.

What I\'d like to do is add

Answer 1

Try this maybe:

$('.button').addClass('saving').delay(2000, function() {
    $(this).removeClass('saving')
});

Answer 2

delay only works with animation-related methods, you can use queue method:

$('.button').addClass('saving').delay(2000).queue(function( next ){
    $(this).removeClass('saving'); 
    next();
});

Answer 3

.delay() is actually for animations.

Use setTimeout()

$('.button').addClass('saving');

setTimeout(function () { 
    $('.button').removeClass('saving');
}, 2000);

Answer 4

If someone needs more than one adding/removing of the class, .dequeue(); is also requered to function properly.

$('.button').addClass('saving').delay(2000).queue(function(){
   $(this).removeClass('saving'); 
   $(this).dequeue();
});
