I have this function that works well for lazy loading.

panel.find('img[data-src]').each(function(){
            element = $(this);
            element.attr('src', element.data('src'));
            element.removeAttr('data-src');

How can I give a fadeIn() effect to that removeAttr function?
I tried:

element.removeAttr('data-src').fadeIn();

but it doesn't work. The img code looks like this and I simply want the dot.png to fadeOut and the original.jpg to fade in.

<img src="dot.png" data-src="original.jpg">

/
Thanks in advance

You cannot fade a src change on an img element. To acheive this you'll need two img elements. The second one will have a the src "original.jpg" and will have a higher z-index and start with display: none for a style. Then you can fade it in and it will fade in over the dot.

EDIT Given your new question, you could do the following:

1. Add an onload listener for the image
2. Just before changing the "src", fade the image out
3. Then change the "src" to "original.jpg"
4. In your onload function, do a fadeIn

Here is what I have done.

Added a fadeOut(5000), the img with original src will fadeout after 5 sec. Called a function with timeout of 6sec, which changes the src with data-src and fadeIn(5000) in 5 sec, I hope this solves your problem.

JS code is below

var myVar;
function myFunction() {
    myVar = setTimeout(function(){ 
        var src = $("img.hide").attr("data-src");
        $("img.hide").attr("src",src);
        $("img.hide").fadeIn(5000); 
    }, 6000);
}

function myStopFunction() {
    clearTimeout(myVar);
}

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".hide").fadeOut(5000);
  myFunction();  
});

The following code would fade out, change the src, then fade in.

JS

$(function() {
  $('img[data-src]').each(function(i, e) {
    // cache element
    original_img = $(e);
    original_img
    .fadeOut(function(){
      original_img.attr('src', original_img.attr('data-src'))    
    })
    .fadeIn();
  })
});

Thanks guys. I found this script working (somehow), the images just blink sometimes. I don't know if semantically correct.

$(function() {
$('img').one("load", function() {
var e = $(this);
e.data('src', e.attr('data-src'));
e.animate({"opacity": 0}, 400);
e.data('src');
e.animate({"opacity": 1}, 400);
})
});

The following code would clone the images that have the data-src attribute, then hide the clone, update the clone src, position it over the original image, and fade in. Would this work for you?
