Answer 1

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.
