My problem..
I have a number of images (inside hyperlinks), and I want each to darken on mouseover (i.e. apply a black mask with high opacity or something), and then go back to normal on mouseout . But I can't figure out the best way to do it.
I've tried..
- Jquery color animate and some javascript references.
- Setting the opacity of the image with javascript.
I don't want..
- Image start at 80% opacity then go to 100% on mouseover (that's easy).
- To swap between 2 images (one light & one dark), forgot the mention this sorry..
To reiterate..
I want in image (inslide a hyperlink) to darken on mouseover and then lose its darkness on mouseout.
Thoughts?
UPDATE :
This is my progress from suggestions. Looks fine in IE8, but not in FF3

ANSWER
I'm going with this (seems to work in IE8 & FF)
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.outerLink
{
background-color:black;
display:block;
opacity:1;
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
width:200px;
}
img.darkableImage
{
opacity:1;
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://www.google.com" class="outerLink">
<img src="http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/images/logo.gif" width="200"
class="darkableImage" onmouseout="this.style.opacity=1;this.filters.alpha.opacity=100"
onmouseover="this.style.opacity=0.6;this.filters.alpha.opacity=60" />
