||Example:                                         ||
||                                                 ||
||fade(255,255,255, 255,150,0, 180, 1, element);    ||
||                                                 ||
||Explanation:                                     ||
||                                                 ||
||RGB (red, green, blue) values of first color     ||
||(color to start at), then RGB values of second   ||
||color (color to fade to). For my site, I have    ||
||the first color (255,255,255), which is white,   ||
||and the second color (255,150,0), which is or-   ||
||ange.  Therefore it fades from white to orange   ||
||when the mouse moves over the link.              ||
||                                                 ||
||The 23 parameter is the delay time: decrease to  ||
||make it go quicker and increase it to go faster. ||
||In this case, the fading will be slightly quick- ||
||er when the mouse moves over the link than when  ||
||the mouse moves off (which is set to 30, in my   ||
||case).                                           ||
||                                                 ||
||The last two parameters shouldn't be messed with.||
