I have a div element which acts as a global contianer for my webpage, I also have a div element inside this which I use as a curtain i.e. when it is activated it covers the whole page in a dark semi transparent layer (just like a lightbox) so the page is essentially deactivated and a warning dialog or picture box, etc, etc can be displayed on top.
I can achieve this efect and functionality easily with javascript but I wanted to know whether it could be achieved purely with css animations?
<div id='globalCon'>
<div id='curtain' class='enabled'></div>
<div id='contentA'></div>
<div id='contentB'></div>
...
</div>
so when curtain is not active it should have opacity 0 and prefferably be display:none;
to keep it out of the way. Then when it is activated it should have display:block
and opacity animate to 0.8. Then when it is deactivated, opacity should animate back to 0 and then it should be set back to display:none;
Like I say, I can do this easily with javascript, I just want to know if and how it can be done with css only?
