I was watching the CSS transitions lecture about transitions on overlays. He showed how to make the transition with the overlay, but he didn't show how to create an overlay to begin with.
This is what I have so far:
html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="overlaymain.css" media="screen">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="overlaytransition.css" media="screen">
</head>
<body>
<div class="photo container">
<div class="photo">
<img src="frog.jpg" alt="frog on pad">
<div class="photo-overlay">
<h3>A Frog</h3>
<p>"This is a frog on a lillypad"</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS main:
img { width:300px; height:250px; }
CSS transitions:
.photo-overlay { opacity:0; transition-property: opacity; transition-duration: .1s; }
.photo-overlay:hover { opacity:1; }
This is what I have: http://i.imgur.com/2SDheCf.png Here is an example of what I want: http://i.imgur.com/Hj37zEY.png (the one on the bottom right)
