Here is a pure implementation of fade in and fade out effect using JavaScript.
-
Make use of CSS Opacity property
-
During fade out process, we reduce the opacity value from 0.9 to 0
-
Similarly fade in process increase the 0.0 to 0.9
-
For IE its 10 to 90
-
Use setTimeout() function to call the fade function recursively with delay and increase / decrease opacity value to achieve the fade effect
function fadeOut(id,val){ if(isNaN(val)){ val = 9;} document.getElementById(id).style.opacity='0.'+val; //For IE document.getElementById(id).style.filter="alpha(opacity="+val+'0)'; if(val>0){ val--; setTimeout('fadeOut("'+id+'",'+val+')',90); }else{return;} } function fadeIn(id,val){ // ID of the element to fade, Fade value[min value is 0] if(isNaN(val)){ val = 0;} document.getElementById(id).style.opacity='0.'+val; //For IE document.getElementById(id).style.filter="alpha(opacity="+val+'0)'; if(val<9){ val++; setTimeout('fadeIn("'+id+'",'+val+')',90); }else{return;} }
