jQuery: Animating opacity in IE

Question

Using a div with solid black color to fade out an image underneath it. In Chrome and Firefox, this works fine, however, in IE, it\'s backwards.

$(\"div#bgcov         


        

Answer 1

Try to set the opacity to zero before you animate it:

$("div#bgcover").css({ opacity: 0.0 }).animate( {opacity:.70}, 2500);
