Automatically Fade Out an image on homepage

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 26.2011

Hello everyone!

I’m looking for a script or a direction if I want to do the following:

I would like to have an image (same size as site dimensions) automatically fading out after a some seconds. When the image has faded out all underlying layout and controls must be controlable.

Long time ago I had something working, but it didn’t work not on all IE’s. As time changes things rapidly maybe anyone have a tip or clue.

Thanks in advance.

@touch_the_sky1Oct 26.2011 — Look into setTimeout() for initial delay, animate opacity (reducing it's value in a loop) - you'll need some.. workaround for IE though, then remove from DOM when it hits 0.00 - that'll get you started, and then you'll come up with a better idea and then...

But honestly, save yourself some time and get jQuery -> what you need to achieve - absolutely effortless.

@JongenauthorOct 26.2011 — Thank you for your reply! As being an absolute beginner with js I will follow your jQuery-advice. Do you perhaps have a next clue? Thanks again.

Initial placement of an element over some content sounds like an entirely markup + CSS job.

Also, jQuery fadeOut

Success!
