Roll-Over Effects

Visitors appreciate web sites with roll-over effects, as they add dynamic to the page. When the mouse cursor moves across an image, it can change its colors, shadows, transparency, or other aspects of its appearance.

Rollover effects are commonly used as visual clues for graphic links. But they are also a highly effective way to draw attention to follow-up information, which only becomes visible when the mouse rests over an area of the page.
