I don't know what causes IE to not animate it the second time. However,
adding an additional
document.getEle mentById(animat e).style.filter ="alpha(opacity =100)";

in your fadeIn function, might be a workaround:

function fadeIn()
{
if(!opacityx) {
anitimer=setInt erval("fadeIn() ;",10);
document.getEle mentById(animat e).style.filter ="alpha(opacity =100)";
}
...
}

Re: opacity

opacity is a css element, for all i knew it could have been a css problem.

Proposed for CSS3, not working in any browser.

At least not under that name, i.e. without a vendor prefix.

You're using the "filter" property, which is not a CSS property. It's a
Microsoft extension.

1) No elements in CSS> I assume you meant to say "property".

2) http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/propidx.html - no such property. It's
apparently a proprietory property, not properly valid CSS.

You lot are pretty harsh to people who don't know your little set of
'rules'.

**Phillip Parr** · Jul 21 '05, 12:32 AM

Re: opacity

Thanks for your help, it wasn't quite the solution but using the same logic
I removed the section of code where i explicitly set the opacity to 0 and
that worked great. You're also the only person that tried to help, the
people from the css place are really, VERY snooty!

I'd say deal with it, and don't take it personally. This group is a
bunch of normal people with an above-average knowledge of CSS. The
easiest questions to answer are those which follow our little set of
rules, which apply across most technical newsgroups.

Learn from the experience - we all have - and you'll find a better
response to future questions. But yes, as a bunch of closet geeks, we
can be fairly terse at times when asked to answer questions on
IE-specific Javascript...

Welcome!

Because it wasn't a CSS question. See my response in ciwas about snootiness.

PS you top-posted again... ;-)

That we are. You'd do well to learn those rules if you want help. If you
don't want help, then you needn't follow them.

HTH.

Re: opacity

This I understand, but firstly it was technically a css issue, as it was to
do with css styles, the fact that I was using IE specific opacity is neither
here nor there, I like to get code working in one browser before I make it
work in others too.
Secondly It'd be nice to be told the rules, rather than have them ranted at
me like some nerdy 15 year old spot machine was trying to offend me!

Sorry, it's hard to not top post. I've been doing it with emails all my
life, it's hard to suddenly change. And why isn't it a css issue? It's part
of the styles isn't it?
