jQuery Flashlight Effect

I am looking for a jQuery plugin or code that will allow me to create a sort of flashlight effect. To clarify, I want some dark colored sections on a site that when hovered over with the cursor a sort of faded light area appears that allows the user to see underlying images. Like shining a flashlight into the dark and moving it around. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be so awesome! Thanks!

Would be so simple using regular javascript… why does it have to be jquery?

Stack Overflow got to this first, I had posted the same question there. Here’s the plugin just in case anyone else is looking for such a thing. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62822.

Thanks!

JavaScript or jQuery, it would not matter either way I guess. I just thought maybe there was a jQuery plugin already written somewhere, so I said jQuery. If you have a JavaScript solution in addition to the one I posted above I’d love to see it. Thanks!
