OKay I modified the fade div seen here:
http://www.brainerror.net/scripts_js_blendtrans.php
My version seen here:
http://charity-funding.us/test/test.html
works great, however the hidden div tag (help1) now blocks access to all the text boxes below.
Can someone please look at the code and suggest a way of getting around this!! I am majorly stuck on this one. HELP!!
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
function opacity(id, opacStart, opacEnd, millisec) {
//speed for each frame
var speed = Math.round(millisec / 100);
var timer = 0;
//determine the direction for the blending, if start and end are the same nothing happens
if(opacStart > opacEnd) {
for(i = opacStart; i >= opacEnd; i--) {
setTimeout("changeOpac(" + i + ",'" + id + "')",(timer * speed));
timer++;
}
} else if(opacStart < opacEnd) {
for(i = opacStart; i <= opacEnd; i++)
{
setTimeout("changeOpac(" + i + ",'" + id + "')",(timer * speed));
timer++;
}
}
}
//change the opacity for different browsers
function changeOpac(opacity, id) {
var object = document.getElementById(id).style;
object.opacity = (opacity / 100);
object.MozOpacity = (opacity / 100);
object.KhtmlOpacity = (opacity / 100);
object.filter = "alpha(opacity=" + opacity + ")";
}
function shiftOpacity(id, millisec) {
//if an element is invisible, make it visible, else make it ivisible
if(document.getElementById(id).style.opacity == 100) {
opacity(id, 100, 0, millisec);
} else {
opacity(id, 0, 100, millisec);
}
}
</SCRIPT>
CSS
<style type="text/css">
div.opac_xmpl {
padding: 3px;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
-moz-opacity: 0;
opacity: 0;
position: absolute;
float: right;
z-index: 1;
display: compact;
border: thin solid #3300FF;
}
.hidden {
visibility: hidden;
display: none;
}/* CSS Document */
</style>
DIV Code
<div id="help1" class="opac_xmpl" style="width:675px; height:200px;"> awhole bunch of text</div>
//OPEN DIV code
javascript:opacity('help1', 0, 100, 500)
//CLOSE DIV code
javascript:opacity('help1', 100, 0, 500)
