Pure CSS Disjointed Image Gallery
(with opacity)
Description:
Mouse over the browser icons below to reveal absolutely positioned span tags. The thumbnail images have opacity set to 50%. On hover, the opacity switches to 100%.
This disjointed rollover method relies on pure CSS without need for JavaScript behaviors. Therefore, it will work even when JavaScript is disabled. Also works with the tab key for people who may be unable to use a mouse. Tested and works in FF3.6, IE6+, Opera 10, Safari 4 and Chrome.
