Hello,
I am using Mike Tuupola's great lazy load for a grid portfolio layout.
But I also want each image to crossfade to a second image on hover.
The original image is grayscale, on hover a color version crossfades in.
I would prefer to use a second image rather than a .css grayscale convert,
so I can accurately create my gray image in photoshop.
Currently I can do either separately (lazyload or hover effect) but I do not know how to combine.
My current html looks like this (lazyload working):
Code:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/transition.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.lazyload.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<script>

$(function() {
  $("img").lazyload({ 
    placeholder : "images/place.gif",  
    effect : "fadeIn", 
    effectspeed: 1000 
  }); 
});

</script>

<div id="container">
  <div class="block">
    <a href="1_1.html"><img class="lazy" data-original="images/14_grey.jpg" width="170" height="170"></a>
  </div>
</div>
Crossfading works using the below:

Code:
<li> <a href="1_1.html"><img src="images/14_grey.jpg" class="grey" /></a>
		<img src="images/14_colour.jpg" class="colour" />
	</li>
Using styles:
Code:
img.grey {
	position: absolute;
	left: 0;
	top: 0;
	z-index: 10;
	height: 170px;
	width: 170px;
}
 
img.colour {
	position: absolute;
	left: 0; top: 0;
	height: 170px;
	width: 170px;
}
transition.js:
Code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("img.grey").hover(
function() {
$(this).stop().animate({"opacity": "0"}, 500);
},
function() {
$(this).stop().animate({"opacity": "1"}, 500);
});
});
jquery.lazyload.js:

Code:
(function($, window, document, undefined) {
    var $window = $(window);

    $.fn.lazyload = function(options) {
        var elements = this;
        var $container;
        var settings = {
            threshold       : 0,
            failure_limit   : 0,
            event           : "scroll",
            effect          : "show",

Please excuse my ignorance - how can this be achieved?
