I think that fading is now the job of JavaScript. I'm not a grate client-side programmer but I know that JS will do the job for you. take a look at phd's example. It's a good one
You might want to read the rest of the text, all the source codes are in there. Javascript Source • Initial CSS • CSS Imported with Javascript
javascript is god for all these effects its definitely a good idea to learn some basic JS. its a lifesaver
www.dynamicdrive.com has a good effect. It can be used on anything, not just images. I think it's called "Gradual Highlight."
I agree and if we want to get even better, the ActionScript 3.0 is a nice thing. It is ajax-like and has a lot of cool flash futures
smile123, did you end up getting this to work for you? I don't think it's possible without JavaScript (well, you could use Flash, but that's different )
No, no no no NO. HTML is a structural markup language used for marking up (and thereby defining the meaning of the contents of) a Web page. If you need a behavioral effect such as this, use JavaScript (or if appropriate, Flash, but that's not always the best solution) instead, since behavior is the responsibility of JavaScript (well, that and client-side form pre-validation). (X)HTML for structure, CSS for appearance and presentation, JavaScript for behavior (and client-side form pre-validation). And yes, I consider Ajax to fall under "behavior" for those who are wondering.
