CSS-Tricks Example

Inset Border Effect jQuery Plugin

by Robin Thrift

This plugin puts a border around the targeted elements (typically images), but unlike normal CSS borders it covers up part of the image. When the element is hovered over, the border animates to the sides, revealing the whole image.
