css transitions

I'm not sure which div areas you would like to fade in and out, so can't give you actual code.

but, you can use opacity or background-color for fading type transitions.

core example:

.mydiv{
   opacity:1;
   background-color:red;
   transition: all 1s;
}

.mydiv:hover{
   opacity:.5;
   background-color:blue;
}

Select allOpen in new window

well its 2 divs that sit one after the other

so:

<div class="slide"></div>
<div class="slide"></div>

using display none pushes the second one up to the top as i intend. ( i dont want to show both at same time)

I guess i will have to use position absolute on these divs if i cant use display:none?

Thanks

yes. that sounds correct. Give that a try, and if it's not working, let us know.

how do you deal with heights when positioning absolute like this though?

The parent container wont get an automatic height from the child elements?

I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to do. I don't see any <div class="slide"></div> on your page.

Which items exactly do you want to fade in and out based on what conditions? Please be specific.

Under "What we do"

there are 2 buttons that show/hide 2 div's

It works but i have had to give the parent element a fixed height because the child elements are now positioned absolutely.
This could be a problem as its a content managed site so more content could go in theer and this fixed height may become incorrect

Yep guess will have to do that.

Thanks
