Css fade in image after load

Can a text paragraph fade in on page load using CSS transitions?

I adore the way it appeared on http://dotmailapp.com/ and would love to utilize CSS to achieve a similar result. Since the domain was bought, the aforementioned effect no longer exists. On the Wayback Machine, you can view an archived version.

Illustration

This markup is present:

    
​This is a test
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

With the following CSS rule:

#test p {
    opacity: 0;
    margin-top: 25px;
    font-size: 21px;
    text-align: center;
    -webkit-transition: opacity 2s ease-in;
    -moz-transition: opacity 2s ease-in;
    -o-transition: opacity 2s ease-in;
    -ms-transition: opacity 2s ease-in;
    transition: opacity 2s ease-in;
}​

How can the transition be triggered on load?

jQuery Fading Methods

With jQuery you can fade an element in and out of visibility.

jQuery has the following fade methods:

• fadeIn()
• fadeOut()
• fadeToggle()
• fadeTo()

jQuery fadeIn() Method

The jQuery fadeIn() method is used to fade in a hidden element.

Syntax:

$(selector).fadeIn(speed,callback);

The optional speed parameter specifies the duration of the effect. It can take the following values: "slow", "fast", or milliseconds.

The optional callback parameter is a function to be executed after the fading completes.

The following example demonstrates the fadeIn() method with different parameters:

Example

$("button").click(function(){
  $("#div1").fadeIn();
  $("#div2").fadeIn("slow");
  $("#div3").fadeIn(3000);
});
