without seeing all your code...
The main thing I see wrong here is you are calling your fadin() function
with an unneeded argument that is also a string that is not encased by
quotes.
The argument is not required for your function at all--
So try this:
<a class="fadein" onclick="fadein();">Overview</a>
If you DO need the argument for some reason use:
<a class="fadein" onclick="fadein('#overview');">Overview</a>
