Fade.js is a script that implements the Yellow Fade Technique used by 37signal's Basecamp project management tool to highlight recently changed elements on a page.
When an item is changed on a web page, the page is often forced to reload. So that the user can easily spot the change they have just made, it is highlighted (in this case, with a yellow background) for a number of seconds before fading back to its normal colour.
Click here to demonstrate on the block below:
Cras imperdiet. Proin non leo a velit ultrices tempor. Phasellus sodales sollicitudin nunc. Fusce sit amet dui. Cras dapibus wisi sagittis lectus. Nam ac velit. Praesent adipiscing tempus turpis. Nunc massa ipsum, tristique quis, vulputate quis, semper vel, arcu. In vestibulum ipsum id quam. Curabitur semper felis vitae arcu. Praesent tristique ligula eu risus.
In this case, the fade is triggered by clicking on the link, but it would generally be triggered by the pages onload event.
