Fade out DIV? Also braindead questions...

[Noozer]

Just wondering if this is possible... (and how)

I have a small VBScript routine that reduces opacity to 0 slowly.
Unfortunately it doesn't render as it changes. Is this even possible?

Sub UnPop
for i=100 to 0 step -.1
document.getElementById("popup").style.filter = "alpha(opacity=" & i &
");"
next
end Sub

And since I'm posting...

Will "document.popup.style" be the same as
"document.getElementById("popup")" ?

document.getElementById("popup").style.filter = "alpha(opacity=" & i &

next

You might get better answers on a Microsoft group. This one is for

I tried that answer once and was pounced upon by many of the regulars that
"this group is for pretty much anything to do with webpages"

This script is on a webpage ONCLICK event.

You should try using a timer to do this, not a for/next loop (which your
browser will probably run through 100 times in about 1 millisecond).

I know nothing about VBScript, and not much about IE-only styles, but in
Javascript you could try using something like this:

function fadeOut(i)
{
document.getElementById("popup").style.filter =
"alpha(opacity=" + --t + ");"
if (t>0) setTimeOut(fadeOut,10,t);
}

fadeOut(100);

Who cares? If it works in IE then that's all you need to worry about. This
stuff won't work anywhere else.

You might try doing the lookup only once, for efficiency:

var elemPopup=document.getElementById("popup");
function fadeOut(i) {
elemPopup.style.filter="alpha(opacity=" + --t + ");"
if (t>0) setTimeOut(fadeOut,10,t);
}

What's the point of i?

No, this isn't an existential question - I'm referring to the variable u're
passing in as a parameter.

It's the little dot above the stick.
