Basically, I have a number of icons and I want the content above those icons to change when someone hovers over the icon. My plan at the moment is to use mouseover to add/remove a class that changes the opacity of the div and just have the divs overlap each other with absolute positioning. Because I'm a self-taught developer, I find, looking back, that I usually make things harder on myself than they need to be. :) I figured I would ask some of the communities I'm apart of for their opinion on this setup. Maybe there is a better way I'm totally missing. I need it to be compatible back to IE8.
Edit: I'm using jQuery 1.8.3. Sorry for leaving that out.
