Content Slider Using jQuery UI

Showing off the best content of your website or blog in a nice intuitive way will surely catch more eyeballs. Using an auto-playing content slider is the one of techniques to show your featured content. It saves you space and makes for a better user experience, and if you add a pinch of eye candy to it, then there’s no looking back.

There are a few tutorials on creating featured content sliders like the one from CSS-Tricks, but it uses jQuery Coda Slider plugin. Today I’m going to show you how to create a featured content slider for your website using the jQuery UI library.

jQuery.popeye 2.0

jQuery.popeye is an advanced image gallery script built on the JavaScript library jQuery. Use it to save space when displaying a collection of images and offer your users a nice and elegant way to show a big version of your images without leaving the page flow.

Though the script is quick and easy to setup, it offers great flexibility in both behaviour and styling.
It was designed as an alternative to the often-seen JavaScript image lightbox. What they all have in common: they employ a modal window to display the large images, thus disrupting the workflow of the user interacting with a webpage.

jQuery.popeye takes a different approach: not only allows it for browsing all thumbnails as well as the large images in a single image space, it also repects the page flow and stays anchored and rooted in the webpage at all times, thus giving a less disruptive user experience than modal windows.

Sliding Panel


One struggle that still remains today in web design is displaying all of the redundant information on every page. For example, a login form. What if there was a way to easily make the content accessible on every page, but keep it hidden until needed? Well you can, by making a top panel that when clicked, will reveal its self and its content. But we need to make this look nice, so we'll also animate it.

Orbit: A Slick jQuery Image Slider Plugin


Content compatible, new loading animation, thumbnail navigation for bullets, animated captions, no more overflow hidden on the container, restructured the markup & js, changed the base UI, added callback, mouseover pause, better timer interactions and re-browser tested.

CSS Compressor - Optmize and Format your CSS

Online code compressor for Cascading Style Sheets

The CSS Compressor greatly reduces the size of standard CSS code, stripping out unnecessary characters and implementing CSS shortcuts, allowing you to minimize the size of CSS file downloads on your web site.

Use this utility to compress your CSS to increase loading speed and save on bandwidth as well. You can choose from three levels of compression, depending on how legible you want the compressed CSS to be versus degree of compression. The "Normal" mode should work well in most cases, creating a good balance between the two.

Flip A jquery plugin v 0.9.9


Flip is a jQuery plugin that will flip easily your elements in four directions. Try it

Photo Gallery - More Customizations


This gallery demonstrates GalleryView's ability to place both the filmstrip and panel captions on the top of the gallery, instead of the bottom. By wrapping the gallery div and assigning it a background image, we can lift the gallery off the page, or implement any number of design ideas. This gallery also uses a custom navigation theme (download here) and an easing method made possible by the jQuery Easing plugin.

JQuery Image Scale Carousel

It auto scales the images you put into it to the appropriate height and width keeping their aspect ratio in place.

When working with imagery online keeping the integrity of an images aspect ratio is as important as anything else. This is what's so nice about this jQuery plug-in; you don't have to worry about all of your images being perfectly sized for this slider. The jQuery Image Scale Carousel auto scales all of your images making implementation super simple.

It's easy. Set up an array of images, either local images or images out on the interwebs somewhere, and then hand that array to the jQuery Image Scale Carousel. Done!

Quicksand

Reorder and filter items with a nice shuffling animation.

At the very basic level, Quicksand replaces one collection of items with another. All you need to do is provide those two sets of items. You can do it in a couple of ways:

1. Use plain HTML, like an unordered list.
2. Download data by an Ajax call
3. Transform HTML items by JavaScript (for example, sort them differently)

A crazy slideshow plugin for jQuery

Slides is a crazy simple slideshow plugin for jQuery. With features like looping, auto play, fade or slide transition effects, crossfading, image preloading, and auto generated pagination.

With Slides you'll never see mulitple slides fly by. Slides elegantly just slides from one slide to the next. Awesome.

Slides is compatible with all modern web browsers including; Internet Explorer 7/8/9, Firefox 3+, Chrome, Safari and Mobile Safari. And it'll even work in our old friend IE6.

An HTML5 Slideshow Canvas & jQuery

You’ve probably heard a lot about the new HTML5 canvas element. As the name implies, this is a special element that allows us to create and modify graphics. In addition, we can also use it like any other element on the page – apply jQuery animations on it, listen for events and integrate it deeply into our layouts.

All uses of canvas you’ve come so far are probably limited to games and other proof of concept demos. Today, however, we are doing something practical – we are making a progressively enhanced slideshow with a fancy transitioning effect, which is perfectly functional in older browsers as well.

Beautiful Background Image Navigation with jQuery

In this tutorial we are going to create a beautiful navigation that has a background image slide effect. The main idea is to have three list items that contain the same background image but with a different position. The background image for each item will be animated to slide into place in different times, creating a really nice effect. The background image sliding direction from the list item in the middle will depend on which item the user was before: coming from the right, it will slide from the left and vice versa.
On top of that we will have sub-menus that appear with their semi-transparent background sliding in. These backgrounds create an awesome effect of actually just being one element that slides into place, changing its color.
We will be using the amazing Background-Position Animation Plugin by Alexander Farkas.
The photos that we will be using are from Pat’s beautiful B&W collection on Flickr.
There will be a little bit of CSS3 involved which absence will almost not be notable when using a browser that does not support its properties (like IE).
We tried to make this one cross-browser compatible and voilà! It works beautifully in Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE8, IE7 and guess what, it even works respectively in IE6. (We are using an adapted style sheet and you will have to apply some PNG fix if you want the sub-menu backgrounds to be semi-transparent. )

Smooth Navigational CSS & jQuery Menu


Smooth Navigation Menu is a multi level, CSS list based menu powered using jQuery that makes website navigation a smooth affair. And that's a good thing given the important role of this element in any site. The menu's contents can either be from direct markup on the page, or an external file and fetched via Ajax instead. And thanks to jQuery, a configurable, sleek "slide plus fade in" transition is applied during the unveiling of the sub menus. The menu supports both the horizontal and vertical (sidebar) orientation.

Some noteworthy features- You can specify a delay before the sub menus appear and disappear when the mouse rolls over and out of them, respectively. The sub menus reposition themselves if too close to the window's right edges. And last but not least, the depth of the accompanying shadow can be customized, or removed altogether. Smooth we say!

jQuery Accordion Banner Plugin


It to be more like an image slider. There are some coding after the project was complete jQuery plugin.

Example 1
Each slide is 600 x 270 pixels. I've set the width of the accordion to 960 and the slideWidth to 600. The size of the tabs will be calculated automatically. This is probably the best way to fire the accordion.

Example 2
Each slide is 500 x 220 pixels. I've set the width of the accordion to 780 and the tabWidth to 150. The size of the slides will be calculated automatically.
The starting slide is set to 1 (the second slide of slides 0, 1, and 2). The accordion does not auto play. I've also set the accordion to trigger on mouseover.

Example 3
This is probably the most practical example. Each slide has its own class and custom background image. I've set the text inside each of the slides to display only for the class with the open slide. I've also customized the slide class names.
