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.
