jQuery Forum

so i have a site setup but all i need is this menu to, when i hover over an image, lighten the image so it gets brighter. any examples or code i could use?

this is what i use for my menu:

1. <td><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
         <tr>
           <td><a href="index.html"><img src="images/index_02.gif" alt="" width="269" height="55" border="0"></a></td>
           <td><a href="gl.html"><img src="images/index_03.gif" alt="" width="159" height="55" border="0"></a></td>
           <td><a href="about.html"><img src="images/index_04.gif" alt="" width="177" height="55" border="0"></a></td>
           <td><a href="contact.html"><img src="images/index_05.gif" alt="" width="168" height="55" border="0"></a></td>
           <td><a href="/blog/"><img src="images/index_06.gif" alt="" width="227" height="55" border="0"></a></td>
         </tr>
       </table></td>
