Making an image / div fade with CSS3, without using a hover.

Question

Hello, I have a div with an image in it. At the moment I use CSS3 animation to fade it off, but the performance is terrible.

I am pretty sure I should be using transitions. Problem is I cannot find one example that isn't triggered by a hover.

How can I make it so that when the page is loaded, after a delay of 2 seconds, the image/div fades in from 0%?

At the moment, as I said with animation, I have:

@-webkit-keyframes fadetime {
from {
 opacity: 0;
}

50% {
 opacity: 0;
}

to {
 opacity: 1;
    }
}

Any ideas? Thank you.

Using jQuery is probably a better way to go:

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function () {
$('#mainContent').hide();
$('#mainContent').delay(2000).fadeIn(500);

});

</script>

Where #mainContent is the div you want to fade in
