Here’s a short snippet to set the opacity of an element: function setOpacity(e,opacity){ var o=e.style; o.opacity=(opacity/100); //Opera o.MozOpacity=(opacity/100); //Mozilla+Firefox o.KhtmlOpacity=(opacity/100); //Konqueror o.filter=”alpha(opacity=”+opacity+”)”; //IE } Use it like this: var e=document.getElementById(‘myElement’); setOpacity(e, 50);//Sets the opacity to 50% [tags]JavaScript[/tags]
