Possible to fade out div border?

Answer 1

You need to use jQuery UI for that (color animation):

$(".confession").animate({
   borderLeftColor: "white",
   borderTopColor: "white",
   borderRightColor: "white",
   borderBottomColor: "white",
}, 3000);

(it's not working with borderColor and as for "transparent" it fades to white anyway)
