jQuery Peelback Ad

This is a jQuery plugin for adding a "peelback" or "peelaway" ad to a page. It's based on this peelback demo, by Soh Tanaka, which achieves the peelback effect by animating the ad image (the background image) and the peel image in parallel.

Some features:

• Except for the two images, everything is contained in the plugin, which means you can add this to your site without having to touch your stylesheets or HTML.
• Lightweight. The script and the peel effect image combined are only 7.3KB.
• Plugs into Google Analytics Event Tracking to record the mouseover/peelback event.
• Works in all modern browsers as well as IE6, IE7, and IE8.

How to use it:

Just call the .peelback() method on the body element and fill in the parameters.
