Combination of hide, show and delay does not work

[[email protected]…]

The following very short jsfiddle entry explains everything:

What it shows is that $(..).show(0).delay(1000).hide(0) works, but show().delay(1000).hide() doesn't.

Something I forgot, I'm using Google chrome 8.0.552.215.

This is intended.

Added to jQuery in version 1.4, the .delay() method allows us to delay the execution of functions that follow it in the queue. It can be used with the standard effects queue or with a custom queue. Only subsequent events in a queue are delayed; for example this will not delay the no-arguments forms of .show() or .hide() which do not use the effects queue.
