fadeIn onLoad function

So, Im trying to get this id to fade in on the load of the page. I've seen the posts about fade in. However, I haven't found any related to an onLoad function. Could anyone help me out with this?

HTML:

 <div id="intro"> HELLO, I AM </div>

Javascript:

$( "#intro" ).onLoad(function() {
  $( "#intro" ).fadeIn( "slow")
});
Solution

  • There's no such jQuery function as onLoad. Also, you'll probably want to set the default display of your element to "none" using CSS. And, as @Andreas commented, you would then put the $.fadeIn() call in a $(document).ready() callback, so it only executes once the DOM is loaded. So, all together now:

    HTML:

    <div id="intro"> HELLO, I AM </div>

    CSS:

    #intro {
  display: none;
}

    JS:

    $(document).ready(function() {
  $("#intro").fadeIn("slow");
});
