jQuery Change Image On Hover

A really cool feature of jQuery is the ability to change an image dynamically, like when you move the mouse over a certain area of the screen a picture will change.

How you do it: You reference the image src property and change it via 2 functions. The first function changes the image and the second changes it back. Then in the HTML we add an event to the area which the mouse will trigger the functions (note these triggers could also be added to the JavaScript). Simple as that. See Live Demo

}

function twittereyesclosed() {
	//alert("closed");
	var name_element = $('#twitter-image');
	name_element.src = "/images/page-images/twitter-eyes-closed.jpg";
}

The following goes into the HTML:
