Switch opacity to other divs

Question

I was looking for a simple way, possibly with jQuery, to lower the opacity of all the other DIVs on hover and bring them back.

<div id="fade_container">
     <div id="fade1">Content</div>
     <div id="fade2">Content</div>
     <div id="fade3">Content</div>
     <div id="fade4">Content</div>
</div>

For example: When fade2 is hovering fade1 , fade3 and fade4 should lose some opacity.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!
