javascript image rollover

Question

Hi I have a question about image rollover but it's not how you'd think.

I've seen an example http://www.asos.com/ and click the home button(top nav far left)

You can see that when you rollover an image that image stays highlighted and the others darken.

I know this has been done with jquery but the code is very messy. Has anyone seen this before or knows how to do it?

Thanks

Fast solution (it can be tuned shorter i guess):

<div class="images">
    <img src="http://www.google.com/google.jpg" />
    <img src="http://www.google.com/google.jpg" />
    <img src="http://www.google.com/google.jpg" />
    <img src="http://www.google.com/google.jpg" />
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
$().ready(function(){
    $('.images img').hover(
        function(){
            $(this).parents('.images').find('img').not(this).animate({"opacity": "0.3"}, 200);
            $(this).animate({"opacity": "1"}, 200);
        }, 
        function(){
            $(this).animate({"opacity": "1"}, 200);
        }
    );
$('.images').bind('mouseleave',function(){$(this).find('img').animate({"opacity": "1"}, 200);});
});
