Ok...so here is the problem. I have a CSS sprite image made up of ten(10) 25px x 25px icons laid out horizontally - thus resulting in a sprite image of 250px width. I am using these 25x25 images as thumbnails. I'm looking to have an opacity of 30% on these images in INITIAL view and when a user hovers over them the opacity needs to be 100% (1). So what I did was create a SECOND row of images with their opacity at 30% - so now I have a sprite image of 250px x 50px. The top 25px at 100% and the bottom 25px at 30%. I setup HTML as follows: <a href="largeimage1.jpg" class="thumb1"></a> <a href="largeimage2.jpg" class="thumb1"></a> <a href="largeimage2.jpg" class="thumb1"></a> etc... and the CSS: a { display: block; float: left; width: 25px; height: 25px; background: url("250_x_50_spriteimage.jpg") 0 -25px no-repeat; } .thumb1 { background-position: 0 0; } .thumb2 { background-position: -25px 0; } .thumb3 { background-position: -50px 0; } a:hover { **background-position-y**: -25px; } However, this doesn't appear to work unfortunately, as background-position-y is NOT supported in Firefox (or is not a standard, but is IE-specific). The idea is that we (only) want to SHIFT the sprite image UP (along y-axis) and leave the x-axis as is (or was set in the previous classes). If there is no simple CSS solution to this - can this opacity effect be done with JQUERY? So the thumbs would load at 30% opacity and would transition to 100% opacity when user hovers? Many thanks, M.
