Yellow fade effect with JQuery

Question

I would like to implement something similar to 37Signals\'s Yellow Fade effect.

I am using Jquery 1.3.2

The code

(function($) {
   $.fn.yell         


        

Answer 1

YOU NEED ONLY HTML TO DO THIS. No CSS or JS required!

Suppose you have a text on a certain page that you want to temporarily "highlight and show" to users upon visiting the page.

And let the content on that page to be highlighted be a h2 tag and a p tag content as shown below:

Carbon Steel for Blacksmithing

The vast majority of blacksmithing uses low and medium carbon steels. High carbon steel, sometimes called “carbon tool steel,” is very hard, and difficult to bend or weld; it gets very brittle once it’s been heat-treated.
You can buy steel, or you can find and recycle. I prefer the later.

Given below: a link that will ACTUALLY highlight the content that is shown above. Whenever a user clicks this link... they get redirected to the page to the same spot where where the content is, and also the text is highlighted!

To give a live example: Follow the link given above to see the highlight effect upon the content that I mentioned in the link.
