I want to make an HTML div tag fade in and fade out.
I have some code that fades out, but when I fade in, the opacity of the div stays at 0.1 and doesn't increase.

What am I doing wrong and what is the best way to fade in and fade out an element?
Here's my attempt with Javascript and CSS3 animation So the HTML:
The CSS3 with transitions:
The Javascript part. Check if the className exists, if it does then add the class and transitions.
Just click and it will fade in and out. I would recommend using JQuery as Itai Sagi mentioned. I left out Opera and MS, so I would recommend using prefixr to add that in the css. This is my first time posting on stackoverflow but it should work fine.
why do that to yourself?
jQuery:
I think that's easier.
www.jquery.com
I usually use these utility functions.
element
is the HTML element andduration
is the desired duration in milliseconds.Heres my code for a fade in/out toggle functions.
This was from a jQuery style lib i did. hope it's helpfull. link to lib on cloud9: https://c9.io/christopherdumas/magik_wb
