These effect methods may be used to perform animations on DOM elements. The effect methods are discussed in detail in Chapter 4, Styling and Animating.

Predefined effects

Effect method	Description
`.show()`	Displays the matched elements.
`.hide()`	Hides the matched elements.
`.show(speed, [callback])`	Displays the matched elements by animating `height`, `width`, and `opacity`.
`.hide(speed, [callback])`	Hides the matched elements by animating `height`, `width`, and `opacity`.
`.toggle([speed], [callback])`	Displays or hides the matched elements.
`.slideDown([speed], [callback])`	Displays the matched elements with a sliding motion.
`.slideUp([speed], [callback])`	Hides the matched elements with a sliding motion.
`.slideToggle([speed], [callback])`	Displays or hides the matched elements with a sliding motion.
`.fadeIn([speed], [callback])`	Displays the matched elements by fading them to opaque.
`.fadeOut([speed], [callback])`	Hides the matched elements by fading them to transparent.
`.fadeToggle([speed], [callback])`	Displays or hides the matched elements with a fading animation.
`.fadeTo(speed, opacity, [callback])`	Adjusts the opacity of the matched elements.

Custom animations

Effect method	Description
`.animate(properties, [speed], [easing], [callback])`	Performs a custom animation of the specifiedCSS properties.
`.animate(properties, options)`	A lower-level interface to `.animate()`, allowing control over the animation queue.

Queue manipulation

Effect method	Description
`.queue([queueName])`	Retrieves the queue of functions on the first matched element.
`.queue([queueName], callback)`	Adds `callback` to the end of the queue.
`.queue([queueName], newQueue)`	Replaces the queue with a new one.
`.dequeue([queueName])`	Executes the next function on the queue.
`.clearQueue([queueName])`	Empties the queue of all pending functions.
`.stop([clearQueue], [jumpToEnd])`	Stops the currently running animation, then starts queued animations, if any.
`.finish([queueName])`	Stops the currently running animation and immediately advances all queued animations to their target values.
`.delay(duration, [queueName])`	Waits `duration` milliseconds before executing the next item in the queue.
`.promise([queueName], [target])`	Returns a promise object to be resolved once all queued actions on the collection have finished.
