jQuery Plugin for Animated Underlines

Posted on 12/27/2008 @ 05:40AM

It's always a good practice to have a hover effect on links to let users know that they're not just plain text. But after a while, the standard underline effect gets boring.

This little jQuery plugin I wrote is a simple way to snazz things up. Instead of a simple on/off hover effect, the underline will elegantly fade in and out. You can also customize the width and color of the underline, as well as the speed of the animation.

Check out the demo.
