set jquery default animation speed

Question

I cannot find any documentation. All I want to do it set jQuerys default animation speed. Something like this:

 $.setDefaultAnimationSpeed = 5000; //does not work

 $('elem').fadeIn(); // takes 5 seconds
 $('elem').animate({
     foo : bar
 }); // also takes 5 seconds

Thanks folks!

I wrote a dumby command. $.setDefaultAnimationSpeed is not a real thing. — Fresheyeball, Feb 13 '12 at 05:51
Trying to set $.setDefaultAnimationSpeed doesn't work because jQuery's default animation speed doesn't trigger off such a property (nor any property for that matter that I know of). Instead, you should use the method @dku.rajkumar has provided as it is the most commonly used method of setting a "global" animation speed that you can use throughout your jQuery script. — seeming.amusing, Feb 13 '12 at 06:04

$.fx.speeds._default = 1000; // change to whatever your desired speed

or

$.fx.speeds.jojo = 1000; // adds your own speed object to jqueryspeed

i dont think there is any such thing in jquery but you can try something like this

 defaultAnimationSpeed = 5000;  // declare a global variable

 $('elem').fadeIn(defaultAnimationSpeed); 
 $('elem').animate({foo : bar}, defaultAnimationSpeed);

So that it will be applicable wherever it is used and also you can change it very easily. you need not change everywhere in animation.

The above answer is really good.. but why downvote to my answer, Pls mind giving reason ??? – dku.rajkumar Feb 15 '12 at 05:52
because its not accurate, and not the right answer. I down voted it so others will not be mislead. – Fresheyeball Feb 15 '12 at 18:00
Also downvotes don't take of 17 points. I moved the green check to a better answer. – Fresheyeball Feb 15 '12 at 18:01
well i understand that.. you moved green that was fair but it didnt deserve downvote... anyway no issue as your wish :) – dku.rajkumar Feb 16 '12 at 02:25
your answer is just wrong. You can do it with jquery. – Lukas Liesis Oct 26 '14 at 10:18
The user asked how to override the default. You say you don't think there is any such thing (there is), and then suggest that they do what they're trying to do a different way. – pixelearth Jan 28 '19 at 22:08
