Replace Image With Rollover Fade

I am trying to replace an image with another image on rollover and use a fade. I have 2 images water_bag.jpg and water_bag-hover.jpg I am trying to replace one on rollover with the

Solution 1:

you are setting the src to just '-hover.jpg'

you need to do this to set it to the new image:

$('.my_img').parent().append($('.my_img').clone().attr('src',$('.my_img').attr('src').replace('.jpg','-hover.jpg')).fadeIn('slow'))

Solution 2:

Here's simple way: set one image as a background, and fade in another on top:

<imgsrc="http://i.imgur.com/vdDQgb.jpg"hoverImg="http://i.imgur.com/Epl4db.jpg">

JS:

$('body').find('*[hoverImg]').each(function(index){
    $this = $(this)
    $this.wrap('<div>')     
    $this.parent().css('width',$this.width())  
    $this.parent().css('height',$this.width())
    $this.parent().css('background-image',"url(" + $this.attr('hoverImg')+")")
        $this.hover(function() {
            $(this).stop()
            $(this).fadeTo('',.01)    
        },function() {
            $(this).stop()
            $(this).fadeTo('',1)             
        })                    
})
