title: Extending the delay of an already delay()'d element in jQuery
body: <p>I have an element that is set to fade out after a 1500ms delay. ie: Something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("&lt;div&gt;My Element&lt;/div&gt;").appendTo("body").delay(1500).fadeOut(400);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way in jQuery to extend this delay period while the element's fading out is still pending?</p>
