[Release] Fade In/Out links · **Released**: 07-07-2002

Release: Fade In/Out hyperlinks

Author: Anarchos

Description: Fading script fades a link from one color to another when the mouse goes over it, and then back when the mouse goes off

Screenshot: not provided. The author's website is down and my test board went bezerk on me. If possible, can somebody else who implemented this hack provide a demo link?

Download: see attached file (unzip and open the fade.js file in your favorite editor)

This is a very very nice Javascript fader I stumbled into. It fades in all hyperlinks as you hover over them and fades out when you mouse out of the link. Delay of fading and color are all customizable and even Mac-browser support is provided (though tricky).

Installation and configuration is pretty straightforward and all done in the provided .js file. Just edit it with an editor of your choice and put the modified fade.js file in your root forums directory.
Tip: set autofade=True in the .js config section!

Install instructions for your vB board:

Upload the modified .js file to your forums/ directory
Log in to your AdminCP
Navigate to Templates > Modify > Headinclude template
Insert the following code just after </style>

Code:

<script src="fade.js" language="Javascript"></script>

As this script is not mine, I will not be able to provide support. Just wanted to submit a cool script to the community :-)

Warning: the fade effect won't work on links between ,, and some other tags as stated in the .js file.

great... im remove this lines of fade.js and include in template header... to use hover link colors (with more styles)

Code:

<script language="Javascript">
fadeColor = "{hovercolor}";
stepIn = 20;
stepOut = 25;</script>

Nice addiditon, the fade.js on my old phpBB2 board.

Now it would be cool if the fades could also be applied to the forum names & categories.

Anyone figured this one out already?

did that work with vb3.5.2 ?

Well this is a 3 year old thread, probably made for vB2.0. Since it is just some HTML/JS i think the idea should work on all versions.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
