Editing JQuery/Ajax Effect

JavaScript
1

right now I almost have this script working the way I want it to, here it is:

var hash = window.location.hash.substr(1);
	var href = $('.workimg a').each(function(){
		var href = $(this).attr('href');
		if(hash==href.substr(0,href.length-5)){
			var toLoad = hash+'.html #selected';
			$('#selected').load(toLoad)
		}											
	});

	$('.workimg a').click(function(){
								  
		var toLoad = $(this).attr('href')+' #selected';
		$('#selected').slideUp('slow',loadContent);
		$('#load').remove();
		$('#wrapper').append('<span id="load">LOADING...</span>');
		$('#load').fadeIn('normal');
		window.location.hash = $(this).attr('href');
		function loadContent() {
			$('#selected').load(toLoad,'',showNewContent)
		}
		function showNewContent() {
			$('#selected').slideDown('slow',hideLoader);
		}
		function hideLoader() {
			$('#load').slideUp('slow');
		}
		return false;
		
	});

How it works is an image is clicked, and it fills the #selected div with content. The problem I’m having is the #selected div is always visible so the questions I have are

  1. How do I get this to snap to the #selected Div and add a 1 second delay before the slideDown effect?
  2. How do I get add a fade in effect so it becomes Opacity=0 -> slideDown -> Opacity=1 when it appears and Opacity=1 slideUp -> Opacity=0 when it transitions to the next?
