[SOLVED] Fade Out on load?

[twilitegxa]

I have this fader script that fades in and out the image when the link is clicked. Is there a way to have the image faded out when the page is loaded so that when the link is clicked the image gets faded in? Here is what I have:

 

Javascript:

<script>
var TimeToFade = 1000.0;

function fade(eid)
{
  var element = document.getElementById(eid);
  if(element == null)
    return;
   
  if(element.FadeState == null)
  {
    if(element.style.opacity == null
        || element.style.opacity == ''
        || element.style.opacity == '1')
    {
      element.FadeState = 2;
    }
    else
    {
      element.FadeState = -2;
    }
  }
   
  if(element.FadeState == 1 || element.FadeState == -1)
  {
    element.FadeState = element.FadeState == 1 ? -1 : 1;
    element.FadeTimeLeft = TimeToFade - element.FadeTimeLeft;
  }
  else
  {
    element.FadeState = element.FadeState == 2 ? -1 : 1;
    element.FadeTimeLeft = TimeToFade;
    setTimeout("animateFade(" + new Date().getTime() + ",'" + eid + "')", 33);
  }  
}

function animateFade(lastTick, eid)
{  
  var curTick = new Date().getTime();
  var elapsedTicks = curTick - lastTick;

  var element = document.getElementById(eid);

  if(element.FadeTimeLeft <= elapsedTicks)
  {
    element.style.opacity = element.FadeState == 1 ? '1' : '0';
    element.style.filter = 'alpha(opacity = '
        + (element.FadeState == 1 ? '100' : '0') + ')';
    element.FadeState = element.FadeState == 1 ? 2 : -2;
    return;
  }

  element.FadeTimeLeft -= elapsedTicks;
  var newOpVal = element.FadeTimeLeft/TimeToFade;
  if(element.FadeState == 1)
    newOpVal = 1 - newOpVal;

  element.style.opacity = newOpVal;
  element.style.filter = 'alpha(opacity = ' + (newOpVal*100) + ')';

  setTimeout("animateFade(" + curTick + ",'" + eid + "')", 33);
}
</script>

 

Body:

<div id="fadeBlock" title="fadeBlock">
<img src="images/brianna_kainan.jpg" width="500" height="400" id="kula" title="kula" /><br />
<p><b>My kids, Brianna and Kainan</b></p>
</div>
Click here to <a href="#" onclick="fade('fadeBlock')">Fade In/Fade Out</a>

 

How can I do this?

somthing like this maybe?

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function(){
  // call your fade out script here
}
</script>

I found a way to do it with making the display of the div I put it in as none, and that worked! Thanks for the help!
