Hi, I tried to posted this in the Javascript section yesterday but it never 
showed up.

I'm trying to make a graphic face out with scriptaculous.js and prototype.js. 
Here's the script. The problem is when I comment out the alert - it doesn't 
work. With the alert, it loops. Sequence of events desired when function is 
called:

1. Fade object out
2. Wait until fade is complete
3. Remove object from the DOM (because it 's blocking any links below from 
being clickable.

Code:

function fadeout(){
new Effect.Opacity("updateMessage", {duration:1.5, from:1.0, to:0.0});
setTimeout("fadeout()",2000); //wait for the effect to happen
alert('fadeoutset');
$('updateMessage').remove();
}

Question is.. what's wrong?? :)
