How do I gradually change opacity of a div as I scroll?

I want to create an effect which as I scroll, the opacity change gradually depends on the scroll (value? position?). Example: when it's 1000px it's 100%, 1010px it's 90%, and at the end it will be 0% when it reach 1100px.

Currently I'm using: $('#cities_shadow').animate({opacity: 0}, 1000) But I don't want to use time duration.

Thanks!

Hi Fransiska, you might want to check out the explanation from the jQuery API Documentation about SCROLLING EVENTS, reported in this link jQuery SCROLL API Doc.

Have a nice day!

You can also use this nice fiddle as a reference:
