I was working on a solution and got as far as changing the text background color to red on mouse-over and none on mouse-out, but couldn't come up with a way to fade the red to none.
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("#fade").mouseover(function() { $(this).css({ backgroundColor:"red" }); $("#fade").mouseout(function() { $(this).css({ backgroundColor:"" }) return false; }); }); }); </script> Perhaps someone more versed in jQuery could add that to the solution?
