jQuery UI API - Transfer Effect

Usage

Description: Transfers the outline of an element to another element.

Parameter	Type	Description
className	String	The parameterized class name the transfer element will receive.
to	String	A jQuery selector for the element to transfer to.

This is particularly useful when trying to visualize interactions between two elements.

The transferring element itself has the class ui-effects-transfer, and any additional styles such as background or borders need to be defined by you.

Example

Click on the green element to transfer it to another element.
