I looked around for this but couldn't find an answer. I have a set of kids and I'd like to have a hover() defined where the hover element doesn't change but all the siblings--$(this).parent().children()--have an effect applied; in this case opacity animation.
So this is what I'm playing with but I don't know the idiom to filter out the "this" and just leave it alone. grep()? I know there must be a simple idiom for this. If I write it myself I'm going to wind up with a big stupid function. Any ideas to do it succinctly? $("#tabs div") .hover(function(){ $(this).parent().children().animate({opacity: 0.3}, "fast")} ,function(){ $(this).parent().children().animate({opacity: 1}, "fast") }); Thank you! -Ashley
