Hey Bernd, You can't "morph" background images. If you want image crossfades, you need two separate elements (either <img>'s or anything with the proper background image in its style), positioned inside your container, with proper z-index to look like backgrounds respective to other contents, and then you cross-fade those.
Perhaps something like: <!-- btw, div="1" is invalid: you can't start with a digit --> <div id="div1" class="crossBacks"> <img src="img/pfeil_klein_subnav_links.jpg" class="back links" /> <img src="img/pfeil_klein_subnav_rechts.jpg" class="back rechts" style="display: none;" /> <div class="contents">Background-image</div> </div> And some styling that may look like this: .crossBacks { position: relative; with: 150px; } .crossBacks .contents { z-index: 42; } .crossBacks img.back { position: absolute; top: 0; z-index: 0; } .crossBacks img.back.links { left: 0; } .crossBacks img.back.rechts { right: 0; } And then, the cross-fade would look something like this: var container = $('div1'); container.down('.back.links').fade(); container.down('.back.rechts').appear(); Or something along these lines… 'HTH -- Christophe Porteneuve aka TDD [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
