Modal pop up fade in on open click and fade out on close

Question

I have a rather simple question for once. I have delete buttons that open modal pop ups to confirm or deny deletion. I would like these modal pop ups to fade in on click and fad

Answer 1

Use fadeIn() on the right selector('#'+id), this in the current context would be the global object.

function showModal(id) {   
    $('#'+id).fadeIn();
    //$(this).fadeIn('slow');
}
function hideModal(id) {
    $('#'+id).fadeOut();
}
