How to remove a div with fade out effect in JavaScript?

I want to remove a div element on click event but i want to remove it with a fade out effect. I have got some JQuery solution but i need pure JavaScript or css solution.
document.querySelector('.list').addEventListener("click", function(e){
if (e.target.localName === "span") {
var removeTarget = e.target.parentNode.parentNode;
removeTarget.parentNode.removeChild(removeTarget);
};
});
This code is removing the div element with no effect. How can i add a fade out effect?

I've made this function a while ago for a personal project:
function removeFadeOut( el, speed ) {
var seconds = speed/1000;
el.style.transition = "opacity "+seconds+"s ease";
el.style.opacity = 0;
setTimeout(function() {
el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
}, speed);
}
removeFadeOut(document.getElementById('test'), 2000);

There are two ways you can achieve this: CSS3 animation or jQuery animation.
CSS3 Animation
In your CSS document, add:
.list {
opacity: 1;
-webkit-transition: opacity 1000ms linear;
transition: opacity 1000ms linear;
}
This will make any change of opacity to your item fade by 1000ms.
Change line 4 of your JavaScript to:
removeTarget.style.opacity = '0';
setTimeout(() => removeTarget.remove(), 1000);
This will make your item change opacity to 0, thus making the transition from step 1 have an effect. Then it will remove the item with your code after 1000ms.
Note: Make sure the time of the CSS3 transition and the setTimeout are the same.
jQuery Animation
Get jQuery
Go to the jQuery Website and download it, or
Add ` in your HTML document before any jQuery code.
Change line 4 of your Javascript to:
removeTarget.fadeOut(1000)
This will Fade Out your item by 1000ms, you can change this time to whatever you want.

In 2020 you can forgo use of use setTimeout for the animationend event, removing the need to maintain the duration in two places:
.fade-out {
animation: fade 2s;
-webkit-animation: fade 2s;
-moz-animation: fade 2s;
}
/* Animate opacity */
#keyframes fade {
from { opacity: 1 }
to { opacity: 0 }
}
#-moz-keyframes fade {
from { opacity: 1 }
to { opacity: 0 }
}
#-webkit-keyframes fade {
from { opacity: 1 }
to { opacity: 0 }
}
const elementToFade = document.getElementById('my-element');
elementToFade.onanimationend = (e) => {
if (e.target.classList.contains('fade-out')) {
elementToFade.parentNode.removeChild(elementToFade);
}
};
// To fade away:
elementToFade.classList.add('fade-out');

It's a good question, but to animate some element in html, this element has to exist while it is animating. So, you have some ways to do this, a good way is hide this element with CSS and after the animation you remove this element. While you hiding you can animate, you can see this example:
<style>
.hide{
opacity: 0;
}
.fade-out {
transition:1s linear all;
}
</style>
<span class="list fade-out">
This is a List, click me to hide
</span>
<script>
document.querySelector('.list').addEventListener("click", function(e) {
if (e.target.localName === "span") {
//Add CSS hide and animate with fade out
var currentCSS = this.className;
this.className = currentCSS + ' hide';
var removeTarget = e.target.parentNode.parentNode;
setTimeout(function(){
removeTarget.parentNode.removeChild(removeTarget);
},1000);
};
});
</script>

Add the following CSS class to the element using elem.className="my-animation"; on click:
.my-animation {
animation: fade 3s steps(90) forwards;
-webkit-animation: fade 3s steps(90) forwards;
-moz-animation: fade 3s steps(90) forwards;
}
#keyframes fade {
from {
opacity: 1;
}
to {
opacity: 0.0;
}
}
You may control the speed of the animation by modifying the steps(number) as well.

Just goto jQuery source code, take out the fade code which is in pure javascript, and use it, no need to reinvent the wheel,
or a hint is reduce the height of div to 0 slowly using setTimeInterval()
or a css solution would be to use transform and transition properties

javascript, animate and fadeout together

I need to animate an image and fade it out at the same time.
The image is situated in the right of the page, I need to move it to the left and fade it out so that when it reaches the left it is totally disappeared. I tried to combine .fadeOut and .animate (see example below) but actually the image moves, stops and then fadeout. Can you help me?
<script>
$("#link").click(function() {
$("#image").animate({
marginLeft: "-1000px"
}, 1500).fadeOut(1600);
});
</script>
Thank you

Change the opacity of the element. By settings this to zero, the element will fadeout to the duration of the animation.
Code:
$('#link').click(function() {
$('#image').animate({
marginLeft: '-100px',
opacity: 0
}, 1500);
});
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/QqfLL/

Set opacity of #image to 0 and try this :
$("#link").click(function() {
$("#image").animate({
marginLeft: "-1000px",
opacity: 1
}, 1500);
});
You will have to check if this work correctly in IE.

Javascript slide effect onclick

I'd like to add a slide & fade effect to a DIV, with purely Javascript, using "onclick".
The code is here: http://jsfiddle.net/TCUd5/
The DIV that has to slide has id="pulldown_contents_wrapper".
This DIV is contained in a SPAN, that also triggers it:
<span onclick="toggleUpdatesPulldown(event, this, '4');" style="display: inline-block;" class="updates_pulldown" >
<div class="pulldown_contents_wrapper" id="pulldown_contents_wrapper">
And I think the JS code that controls the SPAN onclick is:
var toggleUpdatesPulldown = function(event, element, user_id) {
if( element.className=='updates_pulldown' ) {
element.className= 'updates_pulldown_active';
showNotifications();
} else {
element.className='updates_pulldown';
}
}
If it is not possible to make it with pure JS, do you have an idea how could I do it with Mootools? (*I'd like to use only pure JS or the Mootols framework).
I have tried to implement the code from: why javascript onclick div slide not working? but with no results.
Thanks a lot.
I have managed to make it with Mootools, but I can't figure it out how to add a slide & fade effect, and a delay on mouseout
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
$('updates_pulldown').addEvents({
mouseenter: function(){
$('updates_pulldown').removeClass('updates_pulldown').addClass('updates_pulldown_active')
$('pulldown_contents_wrapper').set('tween', {
duration: 1000,
physics: 'pow:in:out',
transition: Fx.Transitions.Bounce.easeOut // This could have been also 'bounce:out'
}).show();
},
mouseleave: function(){
$('pulldown_contents_wrapper').set('tween', {
duration: 1000,
delay: 1000,
}).hide();
$('updates_pulldown').removeClass('updates_pulldown_active').addClass('updates_pulldown')
},
});
});
var toggleUpdatesPulldown = function(event, element, user_id) {
showNotifications();
}
Any idea?

jQuery is a lot easier, but with pure javascript you can do it.
In the CSS you'll need to use transitions
#thing { position:relative;
top: 0px;
opacity: 0.8;
-moz-transition: top 1s linear, opacity 1s linear;
-webkit-transition: top 1s linear, opacity 1s linear;
}
then in the javascript when you change the position of the element, it should change via the css transitions.
var toggleUpdatesPulldown = function(event, element, user_id) {
if( element.className=='updates_pulldown' ) {
element.style.top = someValue; //something like '100px' will slide it down 100px
element.style.opacity = '1.0'; //will fade the content in from 0.8 opacity to 1.0
element.className= 'updates_pulldown_active';
showNotifications();
EDIT - provided jQuery code
call the jQuery library, most easily done from the google hosting
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
make the hover function
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.updates_pulldown').hover( //first function is mouseon, second is mouseout
function() {
$(this).animate({top: '50px'}).animate({opacity: '1.0'});
},
function() { //delay 1000 milliseconds, animate both position and opacity
$(this).delay(1000).animate({top: '0px'}).animate({opacity: '0.5'});
}
)
})
the function timing will be the same as whatever you set it to in the css with transition tags. using 'this' instead of the class name again makes sure that the effect only occurs on the specific instance of the class that is hovered over. im not sure if this animation is exactly what you were asking for, but if i understand the question correctly then the main functionality will work for you. just change the numbers and such to fit your needs.

How to make a div fade on hover?

Hi I currently have span that displays over an image on hover, however I want to use a bit of javascript or css transitions to make this div fade in to about 0.8 opacity on hover then back to 0 when the mouse is not hovering.
Here is an example of how I have it setup so far, now all thats needed is the fade and 0.8 opacity:
How its setup - Jsfiddle
Im sure there is a simple bit of code that someone has to do this
Help is much appreciated thanks!

So... here's the CSS3 / HTML5-way to do this. This won't work in IE though: it will fall back on the regular, immediate way (so it does work, it just isn't as smooth as it is in the real browsers).
div.yourDiv {
-webkit-transition: .4s ease-in-out opacity;
-moz-transition: .4s ease-in-out opacity;
-o-transition: .4s ease-in-out opacity;
transition: .4s ease-in-out opacity;
}
div.yourDiv:hover {
opacity: 0.8;
}
Since CSS3-transitions are using hardware-accerelation, this really is very smooth! Besides that, you don't even need any Javascript or jQuery for this =)!

You can use CSS's :hover pseudo-class, unless you need to support IE6:
.image-hover:hover {
opacity: .8;
}
* html .image-hover:hover { /* For IE7 and higher */
filter: alpha(opacity=80);
}
That won't fade to 80%, though, it'll just go there immediately. To do that, you can use jQuery's hover and animate functions (edit: or fadeTo, which is just a convenience wrapper for animate on opacity as shown below):
$(".image-hover").hover(
function() {
$(this).stop().animate({opacity: "0.8"});
},
function() {
$(this).stop().animate({opacity: "1"});
}
);
It's not clear from your question what the text in the span is supposed to be doing, but those are the tools to get you started.
Here's an updated version of your fiddle showing the animation; I've used 0.6 rather than 0.8 just so it's more obvious.

.classa
{
opacity:0.8;
}
you can addClass and removeClass like
$("div.image-hover").hover(
function(){
//fadein
$(this).addClass("classa");
},
function(){
//fadeout
$(this).removeClass("classa");
}
);
here is the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/2RN6E/8/
EDITED after the comment below
you can use fadeTo
$("div.image-hover").hover(
function(){
//fadein
$(this).fadeTo( "2000", "0.8");
},
function(){
//fadeout
$(this).fadeTo( "2000","1");
}
here is the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/2RN6E/14/
);

You could do:
function fadein() {
$('.desc').animate({
opacity: 0.8,
}, 1000, function() {
// Animation complete.
})
}
function fadeout() {
$('.desc').animate({
opacity: 0,
}, 1000, function() {
// Animation complete.
})
}
$('.image-hover').hover(fadein, fadeout);
fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/nicolapeluchetti/2RN6E/9/

This code retains the block display for the description element: http://jsfiddle.net/2RN6E/11/
It just uses the animate function of jQuery:
$(".image-hover").hover(function() {
$(".desc").animate({opacity: '0.75'},'slow');
}, function() {
$(".desc").animate({opacity: '0'},'slow');
});

jquery animate .css

I have a script:
$('#hfont1').hover(
function() {
$(this).css({"color":"#efbe5c","font-size":"52pt"}); //mouseover
},
function() {
$(this).css({"color":"#e8a010","font-size":"48pt"}); // mouseout
}
);
how can i animate it or slow it down, so it wont be instant ?

Just use .animate() instead of .css() (with a duration if you want), like this:
$('#hfont1').hover(function() {
$(this).animate({"color":"#efbe5c","font-size":"52pt"}, 1000);
}, function() {
$(this).animate({"color":"#e8a010","font-size":"48pt"}, 1000);
});
You can test it here. Note though, you need either the jQuery color plugin, or jQuery UI included to animate the color. In the above, the duration is 1000ms, you can change it, or just leave it off for the default 400ms duration.

You could opt for a pure CSS solution:
#hfont1 {
transition: color 1s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: color 1s ease-in-out; /* FF 4 */
-webkit-transition: color 1s ease-in-out; /* Safari & Chrome */
-o-transition: color 1s ease-in-out; /* Opera */
}

The example from jQuery's website animates size AND font but you could easily modify it to fit your needs
$("#go").click(function(){
$("#block").animate({
width: "70%",
opacity: 0.4,
marginLeft: "0.6in",
fontSize: "3em",
borderWidth: "10px"
}, 1500 );
http://api.jquery.com/animate/

You can actually still use ".css" and apply css transitions to the div being affected. So continue using ".css" and add the below styles to your stylesheet for "#hfont1". Since ".css" allows for a lot more properties than ".animate", this is always my preferred method.
#hfont1 {
-webkit-transition: width 0.4s;
transition: width 0.4s;
}

If you are needing to use CSS with the jQuery .animate() function, you can use set the duration.
$("#my_image").css({
'left':'1000px',
6000, ''
});
We have the duration property set to 6000.
This will set the time in thousandth of seconds: 6 seconds.
After the duration our next property "easing" changes how our CSS happens.
We have our positioning set to absolute.
There are two default ones to the absolute function: 'linear' and 'swing'.
In this example I am using linear.
It allows for it to use a even pace.
The other 'swing' allows for a exponential speed increase.
There are a bunch of really cool properties to use with animate like bounce, etc.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#my_image").css({
'height': '100px',
'width':'100px',
'background-color':'#0000EE',
'position':'absolute'
});// property than value
$("#my_image").animate({
'left':'1000px'
},6000, 'linear', function(){
alert("Done Animating");
});
});
