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

<html>
    <body>
        <a href="http://www.google.com" style="background-color:black; opacity:1;filter:alpha(opacity=100)">
            <img src="http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/images/logo.gif" width="200" 
            style="opacity:1;filter:alpha(opacity=100)" onmouseout="this.style.opacity=1;this.filters.alpha.opacity=100" 
            onmouseover="this.style.opacity=0.6;this.filters.alpha.opacity=60" />
        </a>
    </body>
</html>

Thoughts?

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" />
        </a>
    </body>
</html>

Or, similar to erikkallen's idea, make the background of the A tag black, and make the image semitransparent on mouseover. That way you won't have to create additional divs.


Source for the CSS-based solution:

a.darken {
    display: inline-block;
    background: black;
    padding: 0;
}

a.darken img {
    display: block;

    -webkit-transition: all 0.5s linear;
       -moz-transition: all 0.5s linear;
        -ms-transition: all 0.5s linear;
         -o-transition: all 0.5s linear;
            transition: all 0.5s linear;
}

a.darken:hover img {
    opacity: 0.7;

}

And the image:

<a href="http://google.com" class="darken">
    <img src="http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/example.jpg" width="200">
</a>
