after removing } im getting another error: ie

$("#toHide").show().blockUI is not a function

Answer 1

There's a stray "}" after the call to "unblockUI()". If that's really in your code, then that would be a problem.

Also, you really should pass functions to "setTimeout()" and not strings:

setTimeout(function() {
  $('#safeForm15').submit();
}, 100);

You're also using jQuery, so you can call "document.getElementById()" if you want but it's clearly less code if you take advantage of the library.

Answer 2

You have an unmatched brace. The last line should be

$.unblockUI();

EDIT

.blockUI()

cannot be called on any object except for the jQuery object. So try:

var $ = jQuery.noConflict();
$.blockUI();
$('#toHide').show(); 
setTimeout('document.getElementById("safeForm15").submit()', 100); 
$.unblockUI();
