fadeIn() in jQuery
The .fadeIn() method is used to animate the opacity of the matched elements, by making the element visible.
Durations are given in milliseconds; higher values are used to indicate slower animations.
It is similar to the .fadeTo() method but that method does not make the element visible.
By setting jQuery.fx.off = true all jQuery effects can be turned off globally , which in turn sets the duration to 0.
