I have found jQuery: FadeOut then SlideUp and it\'s good, but it\'s not the one.
How can I fadeOut() and slideUp() at the same time? I trie
fadeOut()
slideUp()
Throwing one more refinement in there based on @CodeKoalas. It accounts for vertical margin and padding but not horizontal.
$('.selector').animate({ opacity: 0, height: 0, marginTop: 0, marginBottom: 0, paddingTop: 0, paddingBottom: 0 }, 'slow', function() { $(this).hide(); });
