How add: fade from one image to another?

Image effects

[cih333]

How do you add images to a webpage that fade from one image to another?

For example, when page opens an image of a family with a toddler slowly appears and then fades out as a second image slowly appears of a family with a teenager.

I don't even know what such an effect is called- so I can't find it in Help.

Thanks for any help from an obvious novice.

Hi cih333,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld. :)

You`ll need to look into 'image transitions' using javascript or flash. You can`t accomplish what you are looking for with standard HTML code.

Dreamcather:Thanks much. Do you know if there is a straightforward way to do this using Yahoo sitebuilder?

[dreamcatcher]

Sorry, hopefully someone else can helo you with that, I`ve never used Yahoo. I would just look for a code snippet online. You should be able to paste that straight into your existing HTML code. You`ll find lots of image effects using javascript. Try a search.

That specific effect is commonly called a crossfade, you could also do it using video or flash.
