Question

I am creating a navigation and have already made the CSS properties for the buttons.

I would like to fade in the hover properties on top of the static button properties.

What would be the most efficient way of doing this?

the CSS looks like this:

<div id="nav">
    <form method="post" action="">
        <a>Home</a>
        <a>Link2</a>
        <a>Link3</a>
    </form>
</div>

#nav {
position:absolute;
margin-top:96px;
margin-left:30px;
height: 450px;
width: 140px;
font-family:"Book Antiqua";}

#nav a {
background:url(Images/Button.png);
height:28px;
width:130px;
font-family:"Book Antiqua";
font-size:14px;
text-align:center;
color:#C60;
text-decoration:none;
background-position:center;
margin:auto;
display:block;
position:relative;
line-height:190%;
}

#nav a:hover {
background:url(Images/Button%20Hover.png);
height:34px;
width:140px;
font-family:"Book Antiqua";
font-size:16px;
text-align:center;
color:#C60;
text-decoration:none;
margin:-3px;
z-index:2;
line-height:210%;
text-indent:-10px;}

#nav a:active {
background:url(Images/Button%20Hover.png);
height:34px;
width:140px;
font-family:"Book Antiqua";
font-size:14px;
text-align:center;
color:#862902;
text-decoration:none;
margin:0 -3px;
z-index:2;}

Thanks.

Use transition property of css…

-webkit-transition:all .3s;
-moz-transition:all .3s;
-o-transition:all .3s;
-ms-transition:all .3s;

Add this in #nav a…

This works with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and latest IE…
