In this article, we will demonstrate the effect of Fade by using a JavaScript library called script.aculo.us. The fade effect offers a smooth fading transition to the element. We can also adjust the duration of this effect as well.

Syntax:

Effect.Fade('element_id');

// or

Effect.Fade('element_id', options );

Options:

  • duration: Duration taken to fade the element, defaults to 1.0.
  • from: It is a float value representing the percent of opacity to start, the default value is 0.0.
  • to: It is a float value representing the percent of opacity to end, the default value is 1.0.

Note: To use this library, we are supposed to install the library and then use it in our programs. And to do so, you can follow this link http://script.aculo.us/downloads.

Example 1: To demonstrate the use of this function, we have written a small piece of code. In which we have written a small JavaScript function named ShowEffect method which uses the Fade method of this library. By clicking on Click me to Fade the line! , you will see the effect clearly.

To see the effect, first install the library and then open this program in the local environment.
