black’n'white 1.0

…because IE sucks.

This plugin is a tribute to the “Firefox Download Day 2008″.

This plugin helps people moving away from Internet Explorer turning the colors of your website to a grayscaled version (using a property of Explorer itself!).

It was written from an idea of Andy Clarke and a suggest of Simone Parato

    hi,

    I’m happy and disappointed by your plugin at the same time.
    I to was inspired by andy to write a plugin for jQuery to make a site black and white.

    I put about 2 days of work into it only to discover someone else made it already.
    But i took a quite different approach, i get all color values from elements and calculate their grey color.
    This works on any browser, on every element you want, it is invoked like this: $(expr).makeGrey([duration]);
    Yes, i made animation possible with this: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/color , it looks great, seeing a site fade to grey slowly…
    I use filter for images only…

    But guess what… my plugin doesn’t work with IE!!!
    Don’t know why, because IE doesn’t have firebug ;)
    If i do it on .someclass it works, but with * doesn’t, and i can’t do color names yet.

    If you like i can send you my code…

    This is the most stupid plugin I’ve seen. What for?

    @rellok: it’s a joke made just for fun… and because I’m tired to fix IE bugs

    yeah i just made a site and was pissed off to see that it doesn’t work on ie. I want to impliment this code on my site and then have a wee add in the bottom (in color) saying DOWNLOAD FIREFOX!!!!

    So how do i make this work on my site? Do i just add that code to the top of my site?
