Fade in jquery div show

Question

I am trying to get the below script to fade in and fade out with a delay in between. It shows the div correctly and fades out as it should, but it doesn't fade in?

<?php
if(isset($_GET['updated'])) { ?>
<div id='updated'><p>The product was successfully added to your Shopping Cart</p></div>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#updated').fadeIn(800).delay(3000).fadeOut(800)
</script>
<?php } ?>

Many thanks!

Solution 1

its because its already showing

<div id='updated' style="display:none">

fixes it

Solution 2

$('#updated').hide().fadeIn(800).delay(3000).fadeOut(800);

You could also set it in the css:

#updated{
  display: none;
}

The problem is - it's already visible (by default).

Solution 3

You have to hide div before fadeIn(), you can use hide() method to hide the div.

<?php
if(isset($_GET['updated'])) { ?>
<div id='updated'><p>The product was successfully added to your Shopping Cart</p></div>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

$('#updated').hide().fadeIn(800).delay(3000).fadeOut(800)
</script>
<?php } ?>
