My first little jQuery plug in

[paperbag2010]

Hey guys,
I’m a quite young and inexperienced web designer. Often when I visit Flash website’s galleries the images have a nice little border around them and when you hover over them they animate away. Anyway, I thought: "Hey, I can do that without Flash!" So I went ahead and experimented a bit and packed it into a little easy to call jQuery plug in. Have a look and please tell me what I could improve.

here’s the link:

Well done dude – that’s a lovely little plugin! Congrats on making your first one :D

Cheers mate! I wondered if it was a good way to wrap it inside another div. I thought it might make the image inaccessible. But it turned out it doesn’t. Maybe I should have tried that before I posted it here :D

Update: I updated the demo page. It now includes a code generator! check it out:

Well plugins always develop – no one gets everything the best way possible first time… that’s why things get updated :) If you keep improving it, it will always get better, and so will you and your understanding :)

Code generator – nice touch :D
