Thanks for all the help, solution below.
I am new to web development, and I am trying to rebuild a website to practice my CSS.
The website in questions is http://www.divecarib.com. If you scroll down to the pictures on that home page, you notice that they "fade" on hover. How do I achieve that fade? Using opacity makes the background image come through, which is not how it's implemented on that website.
Thank you for the help!
Below is my fade attempt...did not include the code in original post because I thought it was irrelevant given that I was on the wrong path.
.fade {
opacity: 1;
transition: opacity .25s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: opacity .25s ease-in-out;
-webkit-transition: opacity .25s ease-in-out;
}
.fade:hover {
opacity: 0.7;
}
