iframe Fade Out/In with jQuery

I need an iframe to fade out the old page and then fade in with the new page when the user clicks one of the various link and I can’t get the code to work. Just wondering if you can see where I went wrong.

<div id="menubar1">
    <a href="link1" target="iframe1"> link 1 </a>
    <a href="link 2" target="iframe1"> link 2 </a>
    <a href="link 3" target="iframe1"> link 3 </a>
    <a href="link 4" target="iframe1"> link 4 </a>
</div>

<iframe id="iframe1" name="iframe1" src="homepage.html" frameborder="0"></iframe>

<script>
      $("#menubar1 a").click(function() {
          $("#iframe1").FadeOut("slow");
          $("#iframe1").FadeIn("slow");
       });
</script>

This way should work. 

  $("#menubar1 a").click(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      var src = $(this).attr('href');

      $('#iframe1').fadeOut(1000,function(){
          $('#iframe1').attr('src',src );
          $('#iframe1').fadeIn(1000);
      });
  });

You can now remove the target attribute since we've handled it via jQuery.

<a href="link1"> link 1 </a>

I've tested this on jsfiddle to see how it works. jsFiddle

Then I noticed the iframe is blinking after the content is fully loaded. So I added a load() function to fix the blinking and it's working very well. See this jsFiddle

  $("#menubar1 a").click(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      var src = $(this).attr('href');

      $('#iframe1').fadeOut(1000,function(){
          $('#iframe1').attr('src',src ).load(function(){
              $(this).fadeIn(1000);    
          });
      });

 });

Simply a syntax error with the capitalization of .fadeOut (you wrote .FadeOut).

$("#menubar1 a").click(function() {
     $("#iframe1").fadeOut("slow");
     $("#iframe1").fadeIn("slow");
});

Although I recommend you do the following:

<html>
<body>
<div id="menubar1">
    <a href="#" id="link1"> link 1 </a>
    <a href="#" id="link 2"> link 2 </a>
    <a href="#" id="link 3"> link 3 </a>
    <a href="#" id="link 4"> link 4 </a>
</div>

<iframe id="iframe1" name="iframe1" src="homepage.html" frameborder="0" >
</iframe>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$("#menubar1 a").click(function() {
    var linkId = this.id; // id of clicked a element
    $("#iframe1").fadeOut("slow", function() {; // fade out iframe
        document.getElementById("iframe1").src = linkId; // on completion of fade out - change iframe src attribute
        $("#iframe1").fadeIn("slow"); //fade in iframe
    });
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

This way the contents of your iframe will not change before the fadeOut.
