// This technique is a combination of a technique I used for highlighting FAQ's using anchors 
// and the ever popular yellow-fade technique used by 37 Signals in Basecamp.

// Including this script in a page will automatically do two things when the page loads...
// 1. Highlight a target item from the URL (browser address bar) if one is present.
// 2. Setup all anchor tags with targets pointing to the current page to cause a fade on the target element when clicked.

// This is the amount of time (in milliseconds) that will lapse between each step in the fade
var FadeInterval = 160;  // ERA 80, raddoppiato su richiesta di umberto

// This is where the fade will start, if you want it to be faster and start with a lighter color, make this number smaller
// It corresponds directly to the FadeSteps below
var StartFadeAt = 7;


var executed = 0 ;

// This is list of steps that will be used for the color to fade out
var FadeSteps = new Array();
	// erano solo due lettere, raddoppiate per fare rosso anziche' giallo
	FadeSteps[1] = "ffff";
	FadeSteps[2] = "eeee";
	FadeSteps[3] = "dddd";
	FadeSteps[4] = "cccc";
	FadeSteps[5] = "bbbb";
	FadeSteps[6] = "aaaa";
	FadeSteps[7] = "9999";

// These are the lines that "connect" the script to the page.
var W3CDOM = (document.createElement && document.getElementsByTagName);
addEvent(window, 'load', initFades);
