I am trying to animate my navigation menu with jQuery Link Fading effect. I got the script from David Walsh Blog.
I've put 3 test links right above my main navigation menu. It works fine, just as I expected it to. But when I add the class="fade" to the <ul id="topmenu" class="fade"> like so:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.dwFadingLinks.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.effects.core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.fade').dwFadingLinks({
color: '#000',
duration: 300
});
});
</script>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<div id="top">
<ul id="topmenu" class="fade">
<li id="conor"><a href="/">Sahat Yalkabov</a></li>
<li><?php pages(); ?></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="main">
<?php center(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<p>Copyright © 2010 Sahat Yalkabov [ <?php login_link(); ?> ]
</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
It has no effect at all. Still normal CSS hover.
I have even tried adding class="fade" to every element in the body, still nothing.
EDIT: The navigation links are PHP-generated as you can see I am calling links from <li><?php pages(); ?></li>
UPDATE: Thank you MvanGeest. Your solution has solved my problem :).
