css() and opacity.. following fadeIn() not working

Question

when I set opacity to 0 in css() the following fadeIn() doesn\'t work

if I set opacity to 1 the loader element is showed but there will of course not be

Answer 1

.fadein() is used to show a hidden element, I dont know if it works with a opacity set to 0. Rather then opacity: 0 try display:none
