Ok, let me explain a bit more.

I have a menu that each word has a thumb besides it,

i wanted it to appear as 30% so what i did is "body onLoad triggers the menu fade to 30%"

when mouse rolls over i want it to fade in to 100% opacity

and when its rolls out/isnt on top it fades back to 30%

Problem im having is,

when mouse rolls over it fades from 30 inside the already faded to 30 to 100% wich is the outer 30. get it?

so theyre never brighter than 30, plus it kinds of blinks sometimes?

I was trying to use the if function in php, but i cant seem to get it working i dont  understand how i could implement it.

Or what could be the what to do it, how id type it. I tried a few things that obviosuly did not work, deleted them.

maybe you guys think a better approach to do this?

Or how could i do with the approach i am trying?

if you look at the code, do you see something funny that shouldnt be there or that way?

what am i missing here?

I thank you all in advance!

PHP is a server-side language. Once it has created the HTML output and sent it back to the browser, it no longer has any influence over the page or its contents.

Spry effects are controlled by JavaScript on the client side. They have nothing to do with PHP. If you're having problems with Spry, you would be better off posting a question in the Spry forum.

oooooooh Thanks Powers!

So id have to try with javascript instead, theres an if function with javascript right?

if you were to do a menu that the first time you see it,

it appears 50% opacity,

and when you mouse over each item it goes to 100%

but when you roll out itgoes back to 50%.

what would be your approach to achieve this?

using spry effects that show the "animation" of the opacity happening,

not using png rollover images.

( or whatever you know you can use to show this "animation" )
