Use jQuery to fade image out
<p>I am using the following script to fade an image out after 5 seconds: </p>

<pre><code>var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
$j(document).ready(function() { 
    var fade_out = function() {
        $j("#fadeout").fadeOut().empty();
    }
    setTimeout(fade_out, 5000);
}); 
</code></pre>

<p>When the image goes away it just disappears. I want the image to slowly fade out over a second or so. How can I do this? </p>
