jQuery opacity not working - jquery-ui

Question

I am trying to change the opacity of the image after I click the red button
instead of adding the different image, and I should not see the red button on the new image
My JS code is below.
http://jsfiddle.net/mwPeb/7/
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".specialHoverOne").hover(function () {
// alert("i am here");
$(".ctaSpecialOne").css("visibility", "visible");
},
function () {
$(".ctaSpecialOne").css("visibility", "hidden");
});
$(".ctaSpecialOne").click(function (e) {
alert("clicked");
e.preventDefault();
//$(this).closest('.specialHoverOne').unbind("mouseenter").end().parent().siblings('a').children("img").attr("src", //"http://imgs.zinio.com/magimages/62898189/2012/416242497_200.jpg");
$(this).css({
'opacity': 50
});
});
});
</script>

I'd spend some quality time cleaning up the coding here, it's a bit difficult to find anything and the structure is a bit hard to follow.
If I'm understanding correctly, I believe this is the line you need to make the image above the red button change opacity when said red button is clicked.
$(this).parent().prev().prev().css({'opacity':.5});
More specifically;
$(".ctaSpecialOne").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).parent().prev().prev().css({'opacity':.5});
});

You want the opacity of the red button to change on click? Or the image above it? For starters, to set the opacity, you would change your line:
$(this).css({'opacity':50});
to:
$(this).css({ opacity: 0.5 });
In your current fiddle, you'll see that sets the opacity of the red button. If you want it to set something else, you now have the syntax.
Update:
Instead of wiring up a bunch of .click() events that repeat the same code, might be best to create a function
function setThisOpacity(id) {
$("#" + id).css({ opacity: 0.5 });
//do other stuff if you need to
}
And then in your html markup, just add an onclick="setThisOpacity(someID);" where someID is an actual ID to the item you want to set the opacity.
