How to fade in/out an HTML DIV container using JavaScript?

I have an DIV container with an id="myDiv" attribute+value. I'd like to fade this in/out smoothly.

Would I have to create some sort of run loop with an timer and then modify the opacity value of the DIV?

Is jQuery perfect for this kind of stuff?

The jQuery has fadeIn and fadeOut methods to create the fading effect. You can for example use them like this on your div:

$('#myDiv').fadeOut('slow');

Or you can also use the animate method and specify the opacity option to it to create the fading effect.

Not to forget about the fadeTo method too :)
