Faded backgrounds while showing JS alerts

Faded backgrounds while showing JS alerts

Hello.

I'm wondering if this is the best/correct way to "grey out" the background of my app while a JS alert/confirm box is shown.

Here's what I have come up with:

function btnDelete_OnClick()
{
$('#divAppContainer').fadeTo(100,0.33);
window.setTimeout("ConfirmDelete();",200);
}

I had some issues with calling ConfirmDelete() in the Callback of the fadeTo function so opted for this method instead.

Although this works, I wouldn't mind some input on if there is a better way... I'm new to JQuery and don't want to start out on the wrong foot.

Cheers,

Ben
