Jquery Lightbox Image Gallery: Image not fading in

Hi. My lightbox works well. Now I would like to apply a fade in effect to the images. Nothing happens. What is missing?

var $overlay = $('<div class="overlay"></div>');
var $image = $('<img class="nilo">');

$("html").append($overlay);
$overlay.append($image);

$(".lightbox a").click(function(event){

    event.preventDefault();

    var imageLocation = $(this).attr("href");       
    $image.attr("src", imageLocation);

    $overlay.show();

    $(".nilo").fadeIn( "slow" );

});

$overlay.click(function() {                                                 
    $overlay.hide();    
});

why not just use the "show("slow")" tag from the previous lessons?
