PB Pb28 Master Team July 6th, 2023 Intermediate

📦 Get the complete source code for this tutorial

In the previous tutorial, we have seen how to apply the fade-in fade-away effect on an HTML element using jQuery. This tutorial will replicate the same effect without using jQuery or any other Javascript functions.

In this example, we do this in CSS by changing the opacity with the hover property. Using CSS, the fade effects can not be provided with the jQuery slow, fast animation effect as we have in the previous tutorial demo.
