Opacity

• http://javascript.internet.com/ (this was handy to change images around)
• great article on intracacies of the DOM
  • another nice DOM walkthrough
  • a very clear presentation on the DOM
• Opacity tricks here that work on IE and Netscape
  • just for Netscape
  • the most scholarly article on the topic
  • But this guy nailed it! (code below)
    
  • Though check out this and this

function setOpacity(name, opacity) {
  obj = document.getElementById(name);

  opacity = (opacity == 100)?99.999:opacity;

  // IE/Win
  obj.style.filter = "alpha(opacity:"+opacity+")";

  // Safari<1.2, Konqueror
  obj.style.KHTMLOpacity = opacity/100;

  // Older Mozilla and Firefox
  obj.style.MozOpacity = opacity/100;

  // Safari 1.2, newer Firefox and Mozilla, CSS3
  obj.style.opacity = opacity/100;
}
