I've been using this over and over on other sites, now this isn't working: I've got this element: <div class="windowOverlay"></div> With this CSS: .windowOverlay { height:100%; position:fixed; overflow:auto; top:0; left:0; background-color:#000; width:100%; z-index:20; opacity:0.5; filter:Alpha(Opacity=50); } And this jQuery to initially hide the overlay div: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('.windowOverlay').hide(); }); </script> Yet, the overlay div isn't being hidden.why? Thanks for any feedback!
