title: Blurring fisheye effect on a vertical text menu
body: <p>I'm searching for existing scripts that will animate a vertical text menu by blurring text and zooming it according to the mouse pointer.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to accomplish these actions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>OS X-like movement on mouse hover that can 'zoom' the text in and out</li>
  <li>In an un-focused state, the text would be blurred </li>
  <li>When a user moved their pointer closer to the text, the text would sharpen.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.flashden.net/item/vertical-fisheye-menu/19994" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Here's a Flash example</a> that demonstrates some of the effects, but I'd really prefer to use JavaScript and not use 'down', 'up' and 'select' buttons, naturally. </p>
