A better implementation of a fading image swap with javascript / jQuery

Question

This is less of a specific problem or error but more of a implementation question.

First of I\'d like to say that I\'ve been through a lot of fading image tutorials

Answer 1

try to do it easy like this:

 $('#img').hover(
     function() {
       $(this).stop().fadeIn(...).attr('src', 'image_o').fadeOut(...)
     }, 
     function() {
       $(this).stop().fadeIn(...).attr('src', 'image').fadeOut(...)
 });
