Question

I have used the following script for images and it appears to work fine; yet in Internet Explorer, the text is not fading out as it should. Any ideas?

 <td colspan="5" ID='links'>
<ul id="navlist">
    <li id="active"><a href="#" id="a" onmouseover="over(this)" onmouseout="out()">Apie įmonę</a>|</li>
    <li><a href="#" ID="b" onmouseover="over(this)" onmouseout="out()">Naujienos</a>|</li>
    <li><a href="#" ID="c" onmouseover="over(this)" onmouseout="out()">Kainynai</a>|</li>
    <li><a href="#" ID="d" onmouseover="over(this)" onmouseout="out()">Aktyvaus laisvalaikio priemonės</a>|</li>
    <li><a href="#" ID="e" onmouseover="over(this)" onmouseout="out()">Servisas</a>|</li>
    <li><a href="#" ID="f" onmouseover="over(this)" onmouseout="out()">Akcijos</a>|</li>
    <li><a href="#" ID="g" onmouseover="over(this)" onmouseout="out()">Karjera</a>|</li>
    <li><a href="#" ID="h" onmouseover="over(this)" onmouseout="out()">Galerija</a>|</li>
    <li><a href="#" ID="i" onmouseover="over(this)" onmouseout="out()">Naudota technika</a></li>
</ul>
</td>
<script>
var ba = new Array("a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i");


function over(from){
var value = 5; 

for(i=0;i<ba.length;i++){

    if(from.id==ba[i])
    {
        //do nothing
    }
    else{
        document.getElementById(ba[i]).style.MozOpacity = value/10;
        document.getElementById(ba[i]).style.opacity = value/10;
        document.getElementById(ba[i]).style.filter = 'alpha(opacity=' + value*10 + ')';

    }
}
}
function out(){
var value = 10;

for(i=0;i<ba.length;i++){

document.getElementById(ba[i]).style.MozOpacity = value/10;
document.getElementById(ba[i]).style.opacity = value/10;
document.getElementById(ba[i]).style.filter = 'alpha(opacity=' + value*10 + ')';
}

}
</script>

Thanks!

I would recommend creating a class definition to set the opacity for elements. Then, in your javascript, you would only need to write:

document.getElementById(ba[i]).className = "opacityClassName".

In your CSS, your opacityClassName style definition can look something like this:

.opacityClassName {
    filter: alpha(opacity:0.5);
    KHTMLOpacity: 0.5;
    MozOpacity: 0.5;
    -khtml-opacity:.50;
    -ms-filter:"alpha(opacity=50)";
    -moz-opacity:.50;
    filter:alpha(opacity=50);
    opacity:.50;
}

In this way, you don’t have to worry about syntax like:

document.getElementById(ba[i]).style.ms-filter

not working.
