In the home page of my website, I have a series of images that link to the blog post related to it. I would like to add a fade in effect to those images.

I would like to have them black and white initially, and have the colors fade in when house hovered.

http://css3.bradshawenterprises.com/cfimg/
Here, demo 1 shows exactly what I want to achieve (I would have two images prepared: black and white, color).
I tried using the code posted on the website, but with X theme, I am still confused on where to type in specific css attributes for certain classes.

For example, let’s say I go to Pages > Add new and give it the content below using the text editor.

.img {
position:absolute;
left:0;
-webkit-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
}

.crossfade img.top:hover {
opacity:0;
}
(Here, I am using the coded provided in the link above, and just changing the images.)

<div class=”crossfade”>


</div>

When I load the page, it will not recognize the CSS attributes and just print the text as is.

I see that there is a “Body CSS Class(es)” under the setting, but I have no idea how to utilize it.
Where must I put the CSS codes for them to work properly?

As always, many thanks.

Hello There,

Thanks for posting in!

This should be the format of your code. You forgot to add a class=”top” to your second image that will be displayed when you hover it.

<div class="crossfade">
<img src="http://www.dqualify.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/BlackInfra_Nike_cover.jpg" alt="descrp" />
<img class="top" src="http://www.dqualify.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Columbia_Nike_cover.jpg" alt="asd" />
</div>

Most modern browsers has now the capability of using filters via css. Why don’t you give it a try. Please check it out here: http://labs.voronianski.com/css3-grayscale/

Hope this helps. Kindly let us know.

Thanks you for the response.
Where do I need to put the CSS attributes so it is applied to the page?
Right now, when I load the page, it shows the CSS attributes as just plain text as shown.

Hello There,

Your HTML should be:

<div id="crossfade">
 <img class="bottom" src="http://www.dqualify.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/BlackInfra_Nike_cover.jpg" alt="descrp">
 <img class="top" src="http://www.dqualify.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Columbia_Nike_cover.jpg" alt="asd">
</div>

*Take note of the class=”bottom” and class=”top” on images above.

Please add the following CSS code in your Customizer via Appearance > Customize > Custom > CSS:

#crossfade{
  position:relative;
  height:281px;
  width:450px;
  margin:0 auto;
}

#crossfade img {
  position:absolute;
  left:0;
  -webkit-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
  -moz-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
  -o-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
  transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
}

#crossfade img.top:hover {
  opacity:0;
}

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
