I'm unsure if this question falls within the acceptable boundaries, as it seems to be a bit of a grey area.
I'm aiming to achieve a similar effect to the one showcased in this example profile
My main challenge lies in comprehending how all of the divs are contained within a fixed width while expanding beyond the main container div upon hovering over them. I've observed that they have a relative position, which allows them to break out of the container while floating left.
My plan is to use .animate to enlarge the div and .fadeTo to fade out the other divs ($('.box.).not(this).. etc.
I will post a code example later today.
I'm curious if anyone has insight into how the other divs are displaced or if there is a reliable method for achieving this effect
