Cleaning Out the Bookmarks 2 – Using Opacity to Show Focus with jQuery
#2
Lots of my bookmarks are things I meant to get around to using or learning at some point and this link is no exception.
Well, it is, as I used it, but for my purposes it just didn’t work out well.

This link contains a nice and quick code snippet to change focus on related elements when a user hovers over one. It gives and effect similar to highlighting the hovered link in a navigation bar or similar. The problem I had with it was as you were looking through the grouped elements the opacity change made text hard to read and therefore scan. Don’t know were I’ll use this again but the effect is so elegant I want to keep this one around.
Shows of the power of jquery too. So much glamor for so few lines of code.
