GreyScale.js : “Grayscaling” in non-IE browsers with jQuery

This started out as a little experiment and eventually turned into quite an endeavor. The task was simple enough; to emulate Internet Explorer’s ‘grayscale‘ filter in all non-IE browsers. The solution, much to my initial surprise, is not as tricky as you would think.The ‘grayscale‘ filter in IE can be applied to any element and visually transforms the element itself into grayscale.
