Are you bored to see the same old CSS image replacement tricks for your hover links? Add a little twist, make it fadeIn and fadeOut on hover without even touching the CSS.

With this script, you can automatically fade your image links by adding the class “linkFader” on your tag. The CSS hover will still work if javascript is disabled, it’s like Christmas!.

Your link must use a CSS image replacement technique, otherwise it will not work. That’s because this script is based on background positions hover technic. But you should always do your image links like this anyway.
