How do I add new Javascript? Can I simply add it to the Javascript.php page? below is what I want to add...if anyone can show me how it's done that would be great!!!

<script>

/*

*/

nereidFadeObjects = new Object();
nereidFadeTimers = new Object();

/* object - image to be faded (actual object, not name);
* destop - destination transparency level (ie 80, for mostly solid)
* rate - time in milliseconds between trasparency changes (best under 100)
* delta - amount of change each time (ie 5, for 5% change in transparency)
*/

function nereidFade(object, destOp, rate, delta){
if (!document.all)
return
if (object != "[object]"){ //do this so I can take a string too
setTimeout("nereidFade("+object+","+destOp+","+rat e+","+delta+")",0);
return;
}

clearTimeout(nereidFadeTimers[object.sourceIndex]);

diff = destOp-object.filters.alpha.opacity;
direction = 1;
if (object.filters.alpha.opacity > destOp){
direction = -1;
}
delta=Math.min(direction*diff,delta);
object.filters.alpha.opacity+=direction*delta;

if (object.filters.alpha.opacity != destOp){
nereidFadeObjects[object.sourceIndex]=object;
nereidFadeTimers[object.sourceIndex]=setTimeout("nereidFade(nereidFadeObjects["+object.sourceIndex+"],"+destOp+","+rate+","+delta+")",rate);
}
}

</script>

Thanks!

I notice your site uses frames. You'll need to add the scritp you posted to the <head> section, before the <body>, for each frame page you want the effect to show in. Did you read the instructions at dynamicdrive?

My apologies! The site my banner linked to is my old site. I have that fade effect working at that site using the similar explanation you gave above. My real query is regarding the new site I am working on using PHP-Nuke...

http://O-Company-BF1942.com/html/

Notice the links in the lower right block. The Javascript I posted above is supposed to fade those until you mouseover them. I am wondering how to add that script text to this new site? Do I add it to the Javascript.php page? If so, is there anything specific I need to know to do so? If not, how else can I add it since it appears the html is created dynamic when the site is viewed.

Thanks for your first reply.

Yes put your script at the very top ov your header.html file (in you theme folder), put the script before anything on that page. If you have a problem after that I will show you another way usung php in the theme.php file.
