Hover Over Text, Image Fades In & Out

Question

I had some help yesterday with getting an image to fade in when hovering over another link, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get it to fade out. This might involve java? My apologizes, as I am quite new to more advanced coding (past basic CSS/HTML).

Here's what someone gave me yesterday, which fades in nicely, but id like it to fade out once you remove your mouse from the link.

img { opacity: 0; }
a:hover +img {
    -webkit-animation: changeOpacity 5s;
    animation: changeOpacity 5s;
}
@-webkit-keyframes changeOpacity {
    0%   { opacity: 0; }    
    100% { opacity: 1; }
}

/* Standard syntax */
@keyframes changeOpacity {
    0%   { opacity: 0; }    
    100% { opacity: 1; }
}

And this is the HTML:

<a href="http://lorempixel.com/300/300/sports/1">
    Hover the see Full image,click to go there
</a>
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/300/300/sports/1" width="200" height="200" />
<br>
<a href="http://lorempixel.com/300/300/sports/1">
    Hover the see Full image,click to go there
</a>
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/300/300/sports/1" width="200" height="200" />

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Keyframes is massive overkill here. You can simply use transition and then change the opacity value as needed:

img { 
    opacity: 0; 
    transition: opacity 5s;
}
a:hover +img {
    opacity: 1;
}

Example Fiddle

Note that I sped up the transition in the Fiddle as 5 seconds is a little excessive for a fade-in effect in my experience.

Answer 2

Here's how I'd do it : (run it directly below)

 $('a').hover( function(){ $(this).parent().find('img').css('opacity',1) }, function(){ $(this).parent().find('img').css('opacity',0) }); 

 img{ opacity : 0; transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out; -moz-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out; -webkit-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out; }
