    Help with Javascript rollover in Firefox 2.0

    Ive created a portfolio website and my image links I have used some javascipt to made the images fade when the page is loaded and when you put your mouse over them they light up.

    It works fine In IE but not Firefox 2.0

    The site is

    www.gill-designs.co.uk

    and the code im using for each of the images is :

    Code:
    <SCRIPT>
    <!--
    function high(which2){
    theobject=which2
    highlighting=setInterval("highlightit(theobject)",50)
    }
    function low(which2){
    clearInterval(highlighting)
    which2.filters.alpha.opacity=40
    } 
    function highlightit(cur2){
    if (cur2.filters.alpha.opacity<100)
    cur2.filters.alpha.opacity+=10
    else if (window.highlighting)
    clearInterval(highlighting)
    }
    //-->
    </script>
    
    <a href="http://link.com" target="_blank" title="title"><img src="images/image.png" width="100" height="100" border="0" style="FILTER: alpha(opacity=40)" onmouseover=high(this) onmouseout=low(this)></a>
    Any help on why it doesnt work in FF2 would be greatly appreciated.

    cuz that filters work only with IE
    so u need extra code where u need to use
    style.MozOpacity or style.opacity instead (or better both cuz style.opacity may not work with firefox)

    A few notes:
    1) Filters are not standard web code so they only work in IE as stated above.
    2) Firefox does work with the CSS3 attribute 'opacity' but not many other browsers do.
    3) IE6 does not work with .png images well at all while all other browsers do.
    4) Your doctype is incomplete and IE is in quirks mode. All new pages should use this one:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
    5) The 'lang=" attribute has been deprecated for years. Remove it.
    6) In CSS you must specify units for all attributes, such as px.
    7) Validate your html and your css to see your other errors that need fixing.
    IE7 is nine years behind the standards or wrong.
    But it works in IE!

    3 - There better quality than other image types and never had any problems

    4 - It does.

    Ive also only realy started using CSS and starting of just using div and css inside the actualy webpages rather than creating other sheets until im 100%.

    Yes, PNGs are better quality but I meant IE6 cannot do opacity with PNGs. IE7 now does.

    No, you may think you are serving that doctype but you're not. This is what I'm getting:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >

    yeah but u r talkin about CSS opacity and drhowarddrfine about PNG format which has also such "feature" but IE does not support native alpha channel transparency in PNG images

    as for now ur script does not work with any other browser than IE and not only FF2

    btw why u declared exactly the same js functions several times in ur code?

    anyway ur code could look like this:

    function high(which2){
    theobject=which2
    highlighting=setInterval("highlightit(theobject)",50)
    }
    function low(which2){
    clearInterval(highlighting)
    if(document.all) {
    which2.filters.alpha.opacity=40;
    }
    else {
    which2.style.opacity=0.4;
    }
    }
    function highlightit(cur2){
    if(document.all) {
    if (cur2.filters.alpha.opacity<100) {
    cur2.filters.alpha.opacity+=10;
    }
    else if (window.highlighting) {
    clearInterval(highlighting)
    }
    }
    else {
    cur3=parseFloat(cur2.style.opacity);
    if (cur3 < parseFloat(1.0)) {
    cur2.style.opacity=cur3+parseFloat(0.1);
    }
    else if (window.highlighting) {
    clearInterval(highlighting)
    }
    }
    }
    but remember this is quick and dirty code

    1. browser recognition using just document.all is silly
    2. im unsure if all that parseFloat() are neccessary
    3. please note that opacity values for IE are from 0 to 100 and for FF from 0.0 to 1.0
    4. remember to set initial styles for that 3 images to style="filter:alpha(opacity=40);opacity:0.4"

    hope this will help u
