jQuery provides a trivially simple interface for doing various kind
of amazing effects. jQuery methods allow us to quickly apply commonly
used effects with a minimum configuration.
This tutorial covers all the important jQuery methods to create visual effects.
Showing and Hiding elements
The commands for showing and hiding elements are pretty much what we would expect −
show() to show the elements in a wrapped set and
hide() to hide them.
Syntax
Here is the simple syntax for
show() method −
[selector].show( speed, [callback] );
Here is the description of all the parameters −
- speed − A string representing one of the three predefined
speeds ("slow", "normal", or "fast") or the number of milliseconds to
run the animation (e.g. 1000).
- callback − This optional parameter represents a function
to be executed whenever the animation completes; executes once for each
element animated against.
Following is the simple syntax for
hide() method −
[selector].hide( speed, [callback] );
Here is the description of all the parameters −
- speed − A string representing one of the three predefined
speeds ("slow", "normal", or "fast") or the number of milliseconds to
run the animation (e.g. 1000).
- callback − This optional parameter represents a function
to be executed whenever the animation completes; executes once for each
element animated against.
Example
Consider the following HTML file with a small JQuery coding −
<html>
<head>
<title>The jQuery Example</title>
<script type = "text/javascript"
src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type = "text/javascript" language = "javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#show").click(function () {
$(".mydiv").show( 1000 );
});
$("#hide").click(function () {
$(".mydiv").hide( 1000 );
});
});
</script>
<style>
.mydiv{ margin:10px;padding:12px; border:2px solid #666; width:100px; height:100px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class = "mydiv">
This is a SQUARE
</div>
<input id = "hide" type = "button" value = "Hide" />
<input id = "show" type = "button" value = "Show" />
</body>
</html>
This will produce following result −
Toggling the elements
jQuery provides methods to toggle the display state of elements
between revealed or hidden. If the element is initially displayed, it
will be hidden; if hidden, it will be shown.
Syntax
Here is the simple syntax for one of the
toggle() methods −
[selector]..toggle([speed][, callback]);
Here is the description of all the parameters −
- speed − A string representing one of the three predefined
speeds ("slow", "normal", or "fast") or the number of milliseconds to
run the animation (e.g. 1000).
- callback − This optional parameter represents a function
to be executed whenever the animation completes; executes once for each
element animated against.
Example
We can animate any element, such as a simple <div> containing an image −
<html>
<head>
<title>The jQuery Example</title>
<script type = "text/javascript"
src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type = "text/javascript" language = "javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".clickme").click(function(event){
$(".target").toggle('slow', function(){
$(".log").text('Transition Complete');
});
});
});
</script>
<style>
.clickme{ margin:10px;padding:12px; border:2px solid #666; width:100px; height:50px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class = "content">
<div class = "clickme">Click Me</div>
<div class = "target">
<img src = "./images/jquery.jpg" alt = "jQuery" />
</div>
<div class = "log"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This will produce following result −
JQuery Effect Methods

| 3 |
fadeOut( speed, [callback] )
Fade out all matched elements by adjusting their opacity to 0, then
setting display to "none" and firing an optional callback after
completion. |
| 4 |
fadeTo( speed, opacity, callback )
Fade the opacity of all matched elements to a specified opacity and firing an optional callback after completion. |

| 6 |
hide( speed, [callback] )
Hide all matched elements using a graceful animation and firing an optional callback after completion. |
| 7 |
show( )

| 8 |
show( speed, [callback] )

slideDown( speed, [callback] )
Reveal all matched elements by adjusting their height and firing an optional callback after completion. |
| 10 |
slideToggle( speed, [callback] )
Toggle the visibility of all matched elements by adjusting their height and firing an optional callback after completion. |
| 11 |
slideUp( speed, [callback] )
Hide all matched elements by adjusting their height and firing an optional callback after completion. |

Stops all the currently running animations on all the specified elements. |
| 13 |
toggle( )

| 16 |
jQuery.fx.off
Globally disable all animations. |
UI Library Based Effects
To use these effects you can either download latest jQuery UI Library
jquery-ui-1.11.4.custom.zip from
jQuery UI Library or use Google CDN to use it in the similar way as we have done for jQuery.
We have used Google CDN for jQuery UI using following code snippet in the HTML page so we can use jQuery UI −
<head>
<script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.3/jquery-ui.min.js">
</script>
</head>
