With this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/mungbeans/f2ne6/2/
why is the opacity undefined when accessed in js when its defined in the css?
I presume the answer is
title.style.opacity
should be:
title[0].style.opacity
since getElementsByTagName returns a nodeList.
EDIT:
This still doesn't get the value. You'll need to do the following:
window.getComputedStyle(title[0]).opacity
