Transfer Effect

Description: Transfers the outline of an element to another element

Very useful when trying to visualize interaction between two elements.

The transfer element iself has the class ui-effects-transfer, and needs to be styled by you, for example by adding a background or border.

Example:

Clicking on the green element transfers to the other.
