jQuery image crossfade onhover
<p>So I've been looking for a plugin or jQuery code to drop into a site I'm working on that allows for easy image switches onhover.  I found this awesome little tool: <a href="http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/quick-and-easy-jquery-image-swap/" rel="nofollow">http://www.designchemical.com/blog/index.php/jquery/quick-and-easy-jquery-image-swap/</a> ... does exactly what I need except it switches the image but not crossfade onhover.  I know I can create an image that onhover I change the background to fade in an image (i.e. CSS sprites) but have yet to find a plugin as easy as the link above where I can just drop in a class on all the buttons on my site with a default of "_off.jpg" at the end of the image and then have the jQuery change out the "_off.jpg" to "_on.jpg".  Unfortunately this site I'm working on has a lot of buttons and having to meticulously create a hover situation with a background change would be so time consuming.</p>

<p>Anyone got any recommendations on jQuery and/or plugins they've found to simply their life?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
