✨ jQuery Fade Effects Tutorial

? Quick Overview

jQuery provides several fade methods to animate the opacity of elements, creating smooth fade-in and fade-out effects.

? Key Concepts

Fade effects work by changing element opacity
Animations are smooth and asynchronous
Callbacks run after animation completion

? Syntax / Theory

jQuery fade methods include fadeIn(), fadeOut() and fadeToggle(). You can also control animation duration and attach callback functions.

? Code Examples

This box will fade in and out.

? View Code Example

// Basic jQuery fade methods
$("#fadeBox").fadeOut();
$("#fadeBox").fadeIn();
$("#fadeBox").fadeToggle();

? Fade with Duration and Callback

You can specify duration and a callback function for custom fade animations.

Fade slowly with callback.

// Fade effects with duration and callback
$("#fadeBox2").fadeOut(1500);
$("#fadeBox2").fadeIn(1500);
$("#fadeBox2").fadeOut(1500,function(){
alert("Faded out!");
});

? Live Output / Explanation

When you click the buttons, the boxes smoothly fade in and out. Callback alerts run only after the fade animation finishes.
