Beginner Code question

Beginner Code question

Hello again jQuery community.

So, I finally got my jQuery to work on my website, now I can get coding!

The first thing I wanted, was to make my buttons on my custommade menu light up as visitors hover their mouse over it.

I found a code that does just that

  
<script type="text/javascript">
$
(document).ready(function(){
 $
("img").hover(function() {
 $
(this).stop().animate({opacity: "0.8"}, 'slow'); }, function() { $(this).stop().animate({opacity: "1"}, 'slow'); }); }); </script>

 It works perfectly, though the issue here is that it makes ALL pictures on my page light up as you hover your mouse over it, which is not what I intended to achieve.

The creator of this code said that if you want to have this effect affect only certain images, I had to made sure to change the first jQuery selector to the class name of the images.

As far as I know the "img" is the first selector, and since I only wanted to have this effect on my menu buttons, what do I do?

Do I have to write a second script, that determin the menu buttons class and then use that instead of "img" in the above code? Or is there something else?

Also, I tried to test it with a single image, where I tried to use "#imagename" which in my head, should do the trick as # = ID/name of the picture I want to change correct?


Kind Regards
