Please visit the url I have listed here, and if you know how they do it and/or what the technique is called, I'd love to hear from you!! I think it is amazing.

Go to http://www.nutrasweet.com/infocenter...tact/index.asp

And look at the links under the "marbles". When you mouseover them, they change colours, slowly, like a very subtle glow. What is that? Bett yet, what is the code? =D

Thanks guys n gals

Code:

You might have to adjust some hex variables.

I can't get the code above to work. To be honest, I don't even know what tags to put at the beginning and end.

Anyone have an idea? I really want to get this to work!

Thanks!!
