Fading Images

Credit: DD

1. Just add the following code to your HEAD tag (if you don't know what this is, see my 'Page Tags' tutorial)

/*

*/

nereidFadeObjects = new Object();
nereidFadeTimers = new Object();

/* object - image to be faded (actual object, not name);
 * destop - destination transparency level (ie 80, for mostly solid)
 * rate   - time in milliseconds between trasparency changes (best under 100)
 * delta  - amount of change each time (ie 5, for 5% change in transparency)
 */

function nereidFade(object, destOp, rate, delta){
if (!document.all)
return
    if (object != "[object]"){  //do this so I can take a string too
        setTimeout("nereidFade("+object+","+destOp+","+rate+","+delta+")",0);
        return;
    }
        
    clearTimeout(nereidFadeTimers[object.sourceIndex]);
    
    diff = destOp-object.filters.alpha.opacity;
    direction = 1;
    if (object.filters.alpha.opacity > destOp){
        direction = -1;
    }
    delta=Math.min(direction*diff,delta);
    object.filters.alpha.opacity+=direction*delta;

if (object.filters.alpha.opacity != destOp){
        nereidFadeObjects[object.sourceIndex]=object;
        nereidFadeTimers[object.sourceIndex]=setTimeout("nereidFade(nereidFadeObjects["+object.sourceIndex+"],"+destOp+","+rate+","+delta+")",rate);
    }
}

</script>

2. Add the following code to your BODY tag:

3. Change your-image.gif to your actual image URL. You can also edit the numbers to change the transparency of the image, but you don't have to :)

4. Save your page and you're done! Here's mine (hover over it):
