OKHover by OKFocus

OKHover is a jQuery plugin that makes it easy to reproduce the tiled background effect seen on the OKFocus website. It uses HTML5 data attributes and is designed to be simple yet highly customizable.

Examples

Usage

OKHover binds to any DOM element, usually a list item.

$(function() {
    $('#example1').okhover();
});

<a href='#' data-okimage='http://example.com/path/to/an/image.gif'> a link </a>

Options

fadeIn Boolean, controls if the background image will fade in false
fadeOut Boolean, controls if the background image will fade out false
fadeInDuration Number, controls fade-in duration (in milliseconds) 400
fadeOutDuration Number, controls fade-out duration (in milliseconds) 400
zIndex Number, controls the z-index of the background div -1
el JQuery selector, specifying the element to use for the background effect.

Requirements

The only real technical requirement besides jQuery itself, is declaring the HTML5 doctype for your web application. This ensures that using data attributes will be considered valid markup by browsers.
