converting menu animation to custom

Permalink
I am using a commercial template.

But I am wanting to use a background animation (simple color fade) using jQuery but when I open the block for editing, go into the html, add the code and links then edit the page, it reverts back to the previous animation.

I notice it puts CDATA into my jquery code too.

Please advise if there is a way to cutomise the animation through the CMS or do I need to edit the source files on the server? Please note this is separate from my autonav.

My first guess would be that your javascript is doing exactly what it's supposed to do:

You have a list of items, containing a link and an image in each one.

The background images (for the "a" elements) you've got defined are actually broken, they all point to:

http://www.lifezone.org.nz/themes/lifezone/css/images/bg3.jpg....

You've then got an "img" element sitting over the top of the "a" element.

What this would do (assuming the background images weren't broken) would slide a background behind a foreground image - which if it's not transparent, you're not going to notice much anyway).
