Hi!
This is due to that the fadeOut function is asynchronous (and that's a
good thing, otherwise the entire browser would freeze while
animating). To solve your problem you could use a callback. That's a
second parameter to the fadeOut method as a anonymous function
http://docs.jquery.com/Effects/fadeOut
$("#notice").fadeOut(800, function(){
$("#notice-tab").removeClass('active-notice');
});
The method will now remove the active-notice class afterwards.
