Fade and shrink

I have a website homepage which has clickable links.
On top of this homepage I have a black background div with a logo. The idea is for the black div and logo to fade - this I’ve done. However I also need this div to shrink after its faded so I can click the links below, and that’s where I am having difficulty. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or example of how to fade and then shrink a div?
Thanks in advance.

I don’t know how, but I actually managed to get this working. I now have a problem with one of the scripts on the page. The script adds a star effect to the cursor, but this doesn’t show until the black div has faded to a certain degree. Has anyone any ideas where I could be going wrong?

I have main content…
On top of this I have a div which has a black background and which fades.
In the black background div is a div where the cursor star animation is called - but this doesn’t work until the black background div has faded to about 80% and stops when the black div is completely faded.
