How to make image fade in using JS

[Deviant++]

cause I wanna use it for an image to fade in everytime I refresh the page.. instead of using flash that is..

right now its on flash but would prefer it to NOT be on flash and just a similar effect using js...

You can do it using CSS (controlled though Javascript) and three separate properties that work in the majority of browsers.

I believe the properties are opacity (CSS specification), moz-opacity (old Mozilla specification), and filter (Internet Explorer).

but would that be in an animated sequence ? and not just transparency / opacity ?
