setTimeout for css not running

Question

I've added setTimeout to a couple of functions, in one it is running fine but in another it doesn't seem to run at all. I can't tell why as it's exactly the same. Please find below my code, any help would be appreciated.

It's the setTimeout line I'm looking at.This one works fine.

var fctyhov = function (z) {
    $(deptmts[i]).hover(
        function(){
            $(fcultys[z]).stop(true).animate({color: col1});
            setTimeout(function(){$(z).css("text-shadow", tsh1);},100);},
        function(){
            $(fcultys[z]).stop(true).animate({color: col3});
            setTimeout(function(){$(z).css("text-shadow", tsh2);},100);}
    );
};

But this one doesn't

var facdth = function (y,x,w) {
    $(y).hover(
        function(){
            $(x).stop(true).fadeTo("fast", 1);
            $(w).stop(true).delay().animate({color:col1});
            $(y).stop(true).animate({color: col1});
            setTimeout(function(){$(y).css("text-shadow", tsh1);},100);},
        function(){
            $(x).stop(true).fadeTo("slow", 0);
            $(w).stop(true).delay().animate({color:col2});
            $(y).stop(true).animate({color: col3});
            setTimeout(function(){$(y).css("text-shadow", tsh2);},100);}
    );
};

edit I've added a plugin which allows .animate({color}) to work. These lines are working fine.

Answer 1

Thanks for the above comments and help. Looking at this again in the morning when I wasn't tired it became clearer. The issue I had was in the first statement, which I thought was working.

Where I was calling $(z).css in the setTimout function this should have been $(fcultys[z]).css. This was a stupid mistake, please see below for my working code.

var fctyhov = function (z) {
    $(deptmts[i]).hover(
        function(){
            $(fcultys[z]).stop(true).animate({color: col1});
            setTimeout(function(){$(fcultys[z]).css("text-shadow", tsh1);},100);},
        function(){
            $(fcultys[z]).stop(true).animate({color: col3});
            setTimeout(function(){$(fcultys[z]).css("text-shadow", tsh2);},100);}
    );
};
