Original Hover Effects with CSS3

The power of CSS3 is enormous and in this tutorial we will see how to exploit it in a very creative way. We are going to create some thumbnail hover effects with CSS3 transitions. On hover over a thumbnail, we will reveal some description of the thumbnail, using a different style in each example.

Please note that this will only work properly in modern browsers that support the CSS3 properties in use.

Circular Content Carousel with jQuery

The idea is to have some content boxes that we can slide infinitely (circular). When clicking on the “more” link, the respective item moves to the left and a content area will slide out. Now we can navigate through the carousel where each step will reveal the next or previous content box with its expanded content. Clicking on the closing cross will slide the expanded content area back in and animate the item to its original position.

Advanced jQuery Full screen background image slideshow

It features changing text and playback controls. When the animation doesn't seem smooth, the images might not be loaded. This script can perfectly be combined with an image preloading plugin to get rid of this effect. Tested and works on Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera. I've used images with a width of 1500px, just to cover most of the currently used screen resolutions.


Start up your HTML/CSS/jQuery editor and let's see how you can create this effect yourself! Of course, you can also download the source and dig through the code and learn from there. As always, comments are left on the source code to explain what it does.

Sliding Letters with jQuery

We want to bring some life to the standard hover effect by playing around with the letters in an anchor word. The aim is to slide in letter by letter when hovering over a link element. We can either have the same word or a different one and we can slide in the new letters all the same time or one after the other.

Sliding Background Image Menu with jQuery

Today we want to share another jQuery menu with you. This menu will have several panels, each one corresponding to a different background image that will show on all panels when we hover over a panel label. Also, a submenu will slide out from the bottom. This menu comes with some configuration possibilities, such as the size of the image, the hover effect and custom default states.

The idea of this navigation is based on the Beautiful Background Image Navigation with jQuery, a tutorial that had a similar effect. Since it was very popular and a lot of our readers asked for some very useful additions, we decided to revamp it and make it easier to customize.

Sliding Panel Photo Wall Gallery with jQuery

 

The idea is to have a whole page full of thumbs with a nice light effect when we hover. When an image is clicked, a panel slides up from the bottom revealing the full picture. When clicking on the full image, the thumbs panel slide back from the bottom. This effect will give the impression that we are stacking the panels on top of each other every time we change the mode. In the full picture view we add some nice transition effect when we browse through the photos.

In addition, we will use a function for resizing the full image, adapting it to the size of the screen. So, when the screen get’s resized, our image will adapt automatically!

Pull Out Content Panel with jQuery

In this tutorial we will create a content panel that slides out at a predefined scroll position. It will reveal a teaser with related content and it can be expanded to full page size to show more. A custom slider allows to scroll through many items in the panel.

Depending on how many items can fit to the user’s screen, we will adapt the item container in order make the maximum number of items fit, centering it horizontally.

Carousel with wrap effect

This carousel actually wraps slides as they're bumped off the edges. That is, if a slide is bumped off the right edge, it reappears in equal measure from the left edge. The 'on' slide is always centered, widened and given full opacity. The other slides huddle around it, narrower and semi-opaque. An auto-rotator turns on each slide in turn, or you can force a slide on by clicking it (interrupting the auto-rotate). Clicking the 'on' slide takes you to its corresponding URL, specified in the config file.

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.

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)
