Thank you for your help. Below is the final code that is working.

function fadeOut(secID){

	//alert(secID);
	objID = document.getElementById(secID);
	
	nOpac = objID.filters.alpha.opacity;
		
	if (nOpac > 0) {
		nOpac -= 10
		objID.filters.alpha.opacity = nOpac;
		window.setTimeout("fadeOut('" + secID + "')",50);
	}
}

Try using secID here, since you're guaranteed to keep the same input:

window.setTimeout("fadeOut(" + secID + ")",50);

Without being able to go through a debugging process, I'm taking shots in the dark.

function fadeOut(secID){

	alert(secID);
	objID = secCover1;
	
	nOpac = objID.filters.alpha.opacity;
		
	if (nOpac > 0) {
		nOpac -= 10
		objID.filters.alpha.opacity = nOpac;
		window.setTimeout("fadeOut(objID.id)",50);
	}
}

No, it's on my internal server that is behind a corporate firewall.

With all of my changes I have narrowed the problem to 1 thing. Looking at my code below, when I specify secCover1 as the objID it works fine. When I alert secID it displays secCover1. When I specify objID = secID it fails. That doesn't make much sense to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't tell straight away what's going wrong. Got a link to a test page with the rest of the code?
