jQuery FadeTo() bg on rollover, IMG animate().width height

Question

Hello all, I have been reading StackOverflow for a while and now I have a question I cannot find an answer to.

i am trying to fade a background and increase on img size on rollover.

I have tried animate() and fadeTo(), however, the entire div fades. Do I need to absolute position my images over the div and not within it? img or img?

Is that the only way to get items within a div to not fade along with the background?

Thanks! Jason

Answer 1

Yes, you need to use absolute positioning, if you fade the div that is wrapping the image then everything in the div will fade.
