Simple JavaScript Fade Effect Animation Using Jquery

You can create a simple fade effect in image slideshow using the simplest effects, fadeIn() and fadeOut() methods. These methods simply animate the CSS opacity property to show or hide an element.

Both fadeIn() and fadeOut() methods accept optional duration and callback arguments. And another method fadeTo() expects a target opacity argument and animates the change from the element’s current opacity to the target.

For the fadeTo() method, the duration is required as the first argument and the target opacity is required as the second argument. The callback function is an optional third argument. Here I have written codes for creating simple JavaScript fade effect animation using Jquery. It will help you to create awesome image animations for your website or blog.

Here are some examples that invoke methods for fade effect animation. The first image has fadeIn animation, the second image has fadeOut() animation and the third animation has fadeTo() animation.

$("#img1").fadeIn(2000);
$("#img2").fadeOut(3000);
$("#img3").fadeTo(1000, 0.33);

Now, we will go in detail how to show fadeIn, fadeOut and fadeTo effects animation using jQuery.
