setting opacity is not working

[Stefan]

$(el).css('opacity', 0.5); is not working in version 1.1

This must be due to the auto-convert to pixel values with any number values passed to css. The same applies to css("z-index", 100), which must currently be written as css("z-index", "100").

What is uglier? Appending "px" for pixel values or converting non-pixel numbers to Strings explicitly?

jQuery.prop is responsible. We will need to filter out non valued property numbers but jQuery.prop doesn't currently provide us with a way to know what property is being converted. This seems very hackish. Here are a few properties we will need to filter out:

• z-index/zIndex
• opacity
• zoom

I can't think of any other number valued CSS properties.

jQuery.prop now handles these special cases. It may be a bit hackish, but makes the css methods very convienent to use, no more + "px" stuff everywhere.
