Extending the delay of an already delay()'d element in jQuery
<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>
