## jQuery Fading Methods

With jQuery you can fade an element in and out of visibility.

jQuery has the following fade methods:

- fadeIn()
- fadeOut()
- fadeToggle()
- fadeTo()

## jQuery fadeIn() Method

The jQuery fadeIn() method is used to fade in a hidden element.

Syntax:

$(selector).fadeIn(speed,callback);

The optional speed parameter specifies the duration of the effect. It can take the following values: "slow", "fast", or milliseconds.

The optional callback parameter is a function to be executed after the fading completes.

The following example demonstrates the fadeIn() method with different parameters:

## Example

$("button").click(function(){
$("#div1").fadeIn();
$("#div2").fadeIn("slow");
$("#div3").fadeIn(3000);
