Parameters:

ParametersDescription
speedOptional. Specifies how quickly an element goes from visible to hidden. Default is "normal". Possible values: milliseconds (e.g. 1500) "slow" "normal" "fast" When setting the speed, the element will gradually change its transparency as it goes from visible to hidden (this will create a fade-out effect).
