Resolved Transparent Background on Click with Jquery.

[samuelito.mcf]

I am trying to make it so that when a div is clicked it then gets a transparent background.

$(".homeelem").click(function () {
            $("#homeanim").css({borderBottomWidth:'1px', width:'915px',top:'360px'});
 });

I am already using this code to change other css properties but just can't seem to change the background. I'd also prefer to have this work in Internet Explorer so RGBA or Opacity isn't what I'm looking for. Generally to do this in basic CSS I use:

<style type="text/css">
background:transparent;
       filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#50000000,endColorstr=#80000000); 
       zoom: 1;
</style>

But I don't know how to implement this into Jquery. Any thoughts?

use css rules in conjunction with .addClass and .removeClass instead, save yourself a ton of headaches.

That's an awesome Idea. Can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks!
