cancelling filter effects

[Silent Fire]

Hi there :D

I have made my images all transparent with a basic
img {filter:mask; height:0; }

and then, when i mouseover(oh i mean hover :P )
i want the images to come up inverted

img:hover {filter:invert(); height:0; }
now the problem is obvious, you can not invert the colours of something
thats invisible :)

so i just want to cancel the previous filter

something like

img:hover {filter:mask(color:none;) filter:invert(); }

allthough i havent exactly tried it, i assume this is the wrong way to
go about things :D

any suggestions ?

Hi there :D

G'day.

img {filter:mask; height:0; }

Have you tried validating that?

now the problem is obvious,

Indeed.

any suggestions ?

Stop using made-up CSS.

He told you: filter: mask isn't valid css.

The way CSS selectors work make it difficult to "cancel" things. It's
much better to instead only apply them just where you want them - Try
adding a class attribute "foo" to where you want it and adding .foo to
the CSS rule selector.
And what's MySpace ? Is that like web hosting, only broken?
If you _insist_ on using MySpace, then don't expect anything webby to
work right.
