How Can I Create a Fade-In/Fade-Out Transition for Background Images in CSS3?

Image Fade Effect Transition in CSS3

Implementing a 'fade-in fade-out' effect using CSS transitions is possible for elements, but what about background images?

A reader recently struggled to achieve this with the background using the following CSS:

.title a {
    -webkit-transition: background 1s;
    -moz-transition: background 1s;
    -o-transition: background 1s;
    transition: background 1s;
}

The issue was that background property can't be animated for elements like text.

The solution lies in transitioning the background-image property separately, as seen in this updated CSS:

.title a {
    -webkit-transition: background-image 0.2s ease-in-out;
    transition: background-image 0.2s ease-in-out;
}

This allows for image fading transitions. Please note that currently, Chrome, Opera, and Safari natively support this transition. Firefox and Internet Explorer may not.
