opacity fadeIn ignores div's CSS opacity value

[mattbishop]

I am using jquery to fade in a mask behind a modal div. Very common. The mask has an opacity of 0.85 set in the CSS, like this:

mask {

position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
z-index:9000;
opacity: 0.85;
background-color:white;
display:none;
}

When I fadeIn() with animate-enhanced, the mask div is 100% opaque instead of 85%.

I think this is related to #14 and #36.

I have the same use case and am seeing the same problem.

Confirmed. Opacity is always set to 1 when using the fadeIn() function for example; even if i've changed that value to .6 on previous line using $('.mydiv').css('opacity',0.6);
