Why can't I tween a simple div?

 

In my javascript the following works so I KNOW I have a proper refrence to my div

infoDiv.style.visibility="hidden";

but this doesn't(no errors, just fails!!)

TweenLite.to(  infoDiv,1,{alpha:0});

The div has absolute positioning applied but obviously this is not the value I am changing.

I am also using TweenLite elsewhere in the same javascript file so I know I am referencing it properly.

Hello,

 

here is working codepen example of your code above:

 

See the Pen folIH by jonathan (@jonathan) on CodePen

 

In order to animate CSS properties you will need to include the CSSPLUGIN;

 

http://api.greensock.com/js/com/greensock/plugins/CSSPlugin.html

 

 With the help of the CSSPlugin, GSAP can animate almost any css-related property of DOM elements including the obvious things like width, height, margin, padding, top, left, and more plus more interesting things like transforms (rotation, scaleX, scaleY, skewX, skewY, x, y, rotationX, and rotationY), colors, opacity, and lots more. Don't forget to load the CSSPlugin to enable these capabilities.

 

or you can use TweenMax which includes CSSPLUGIN and other goodies all in one.

 

does that help?
