FIXED!! the setTimeout() was doing some out of scope issues, so i ditched it
$(document).ready(function () { function foo(){ $("#msg1").fadeIn(3000, function () {$("#msg1").fadeOut(3000, function () { $("#msg2"). fadeIn(3000, function () {$("#msg2").fadeOut(3000, function () {$("#msg3").fadeIn(3000, function () { $("#msg3").fadeOut(3000, function () {$("#msg4").fadeIn(3000, function () {$("#msg4").fadeOut(3000, function () {foo();});});})})})})})});} foo()});
