fadeOut removes the table cell completely

fadeOut removes the table cell completely

Hi everyone,
I have been struck at a point where i want to edit a table cell using jeditable plugin. It's working fine and update the cell content perfectly. I want to change the table background to red(for few seconds) for error update and green(for few seconds) for successful update. So i use fadeOut property and it works but the cell is removed after fade out. Below is my code snippet :

success(function (response)  {
$("tr:eq("+ row_index +") td:eq("+ col_index +")").css('backgroundColor', 'green').fadeOut("slow");
}).error(function (response) {
      //particular cell background is changed
      $("tr:eq(" + row_index +") td:eq("+ col_index +")").css('backgroundColor', 'red').fadeOut("slow");
});

It changes background color for both success and error but the cell is also removed after fading out.

I am helpless about that.   Please help me. Thanks in advance...
