MooTools Link Fading

Kinda cool, and could work in the right application. It’s always worth remembering what the users expects from a link though.

Unfortunately events don’t finish if a new one is fired right now, so the links can become locked to their active colour until the mouse enters again.

thats why i’m using mootools, thanks for the great idea, i’m looking to integrate it in my blog… ^^

I agree with Paul, there’s a problem with effects starting and ending.
Here is my solution, 100% mootools-sugar!

$$(‘.fade’).set(‘morph’, {‘duration’: ’300′}).addEvents({
‘mouseenter’: function(){
if(!this.retrieve(‘original’)){ this.store(‘original’, this.getStyle(‘color’));}
this.morph({‘color’: ‘#ff8c00′});
},
‘mouseleave’: function(){
this.morph({‘color’: this.retrieve(‘original’)});
}
});

the problem can be resolved simply like this:

var morph = new Fx.Morph(el,{ ‘duration’:’300′, link: ‘cancel’ });

Hmm.. I thought Fx.Tween is enough for this..

Man, you’re F A N T A S T I C !

Why not use addClass()?

How I can implement this on wordpress sidebar links…

I’m got trouble adding class and id to the specified links.. tq..

I like this, useful and small. I think change my blog’s links. Thank you for sharing…

Hey one more cool script :)

Thanks man!

One quick question: How can I replace the “Color” with “Background Image” ?
I tired but it ain’t working :(

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey,

What should I do to make it get the target color value from a specified css class instead of hard-coding it in the script as above?

I had a special class written to do it in 1.11, but it doesn’t work under 1.2.1. I’ve already received some feedback and I guess I can fix it, but that person suggested me using fx.morph, but looking at the given example I can’t really figure out how.

Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,

Hello,

I’m trying to write a link fading plugin for Joomla but i cant get it to work because Joomla uses Mootools 1.11
It seems mootools 1.11 doesnt know $each and Fx.morph
Do you have any advice how to get this to work with mootools 1.11?

Thank you!

Looks very sweet & simple and will deff. try this out. :)
But …
I would like only the underlines to fade, not the letters is this possible?
If so, how?

I think this should work:

Set in the css: “text-decoration: none;” for .fade and “text-decoration: none; border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;” for .fade:hover

Then replace in the script “color” with “border-bottom” and replace “#ff8c00″ with “#ff8c00 1px solid”

Adjust the color-codes and youre done ;)

Isn´t it possible to use the link fading with the email protection script? Both together doesn´t work. :(

Hey, here’s code for MooTools 1.11 for menu in Joomla. Just assign ID in menu module configuration.
I got help from http://demos111.mootools.net/Fx.Styles

window.addEvent(‘domready’, function() {

var list = $$(‘#mainmenu li a’);
var original;
list.each(function(element)
{
if ( element.parentNode != $(‘current’)) {
var fx = new Fx.Styles(element, {duration: 1000, wait: false, transition: Fx.Transitions.Sine.easeIn});
original = element.getStyle(‘color’);

element.addEvent(‘mouseenter’, function(){
fx.start({
//’opacity’ : 1,
‘color’: ‘#333333′
});
});

element.addEvent(‘mouseleave’, function(){
fx.start({
//’opacity’ : 0.8,
‘color’: original
});
});
};
});
});

man you are awesome… really helpd me!!!

hi david
great code and thanks a lot for all you make !!

i use your script in a website with “opacity” and it work !

window.addEvent(‘domready’,function() {
$each($$(‘.fade’), function(el) {
var original = el.getStyle(‘opacity’);
var morph = new Fx.Morph(el,{ ‘duration’:’100′, link:’cancel’});
el.addEvents({
‘mouseenter’ : function() { morph.start({ ‘opacity’:0.5}) },
‘mouseleave’ : function() { morph.start({ ‘opacity’:original}) }
});
});
});

but I would like my div with “opacity:0.5″ when the page open, and when you click on the div, it stay on “opacity:original” (the link is on the same page with a function show/hide)
Is that possible ?

thanks for your answers, and excuse me for my poor english (I’m french :-))
