16 Jquery Slideshow Applications You CANNOT Miss – Updated!

@Brad

I am generalizing. And I think Jquery has functions that are referred to as Ajax as well, am I wrong?

What these applications do is break common experience to hell because publisher likes eye-candy. I had once clicked on such lightboxed image. It had blocked page and shown me image wihout any controls. Clicking image started loading another image. I had to search it with cursor to discover visible only on hover close button in the lower-right (!) of it. I know it’s worst case but still.

When I need to browse number of images I want to do that quickly, efficiently and in consistent way. I don’t want to figure controls for latest popular plugin all the time.

Yeah, yeah – I am ancient and minimalistic in tastes.

Hey brad!

Nice post and thanks for featuring my script! … I’m gonna try and update it sometime in the future since the coding style is a tad dated.

Brad

Why has nobody pointed out that your first example – Lightbox 2 – uses the Prototype Framework and Scriptaculous Effects Library – not jQuery???

Am I missing something?

Is it just me, or is it nearly impossible to find a jquery/javascript slideshow plugin that supports audio as well?

@Steph

Web IS text and images. Fonts and backgrounds have nothing to do with JS y the way. Browsers are evolving in usability and functions, in technology they are stuck in XHTML/CSS/JS/Flash and are not fast to move from there.

JS is good and flexible technology. Flexible as in for every good example there is half dozen crappy ones.

hey nice post .. it’s quite helpful for my new site

Innerfade does it for me! Thanks for the list, very useful!

Nice Collection I like it.

Very nice one

Thank you for charmingly narrow minded interpretation of my old comment

pictures fading and transitions are very good in this library. It is unbelievable that it is running based on javascripts

Hey, great list! Thank you.

Great! List! I just began !

Hi Brad. Very Nice. I also tried to handle jQuery in our Sharepoint but make something wrong I try to make an slideshow in the header of our Sharepoint 2007.
Maybe you see what wrong on my script:

var Imtech = {} || Imtech;
Imtech.Slideshow = function() {
this.images = null;
this.current = -1;
this.wrapper = null;
this.duration = 6000;
this.delay = 3000;
this.init = function() {
this.images = “\\server01\C$\PictureStore”;
this.wrapper.css(“display”, “none”);
this.wrapper = $(“div.slideshow”, this.wrapper.parent(“:first”).append(”));
this.wrapper.html(”);
this.intervalObj = window.setInterval(this.showImage, this.duration + this.delay);
}

this.showImage = function() {
if (++slideshow.current >= slideshow.images.length) {
slideshow.current = 0;
}

slideshow.wrapper.fadeOut(slideshow.delay, function() {
slideshow.wrapper.html(”);
slideshow.wrapper.fadeIn(slideshow.delay);
});
}

var loadImages = function() {
var images = $(“table.ms-summarystandardbody td.ms-vb2 a[onfocus]“);
var imagesList = new Array(images.length);
var i = -1;
images.each(function() {
imagesList[++i] = this.href.replace(‘about:’, ”);
});
return imagesList;
}
};

var slideshow;

$().ready(function() {
slideshow = new Imtech.Slideshow();
slideshow.wrapper = $(“table.ms-summarystandardbody td.ms-vb2 a”).parents(“div[id^=WebPart]“);
slideshow.init();
});

THX.

Regards

Many of these entries have been useful to me over the years!

If you’d like something different you can try my plugin:

jQuery Blinds Slideshow

Nice collection. I really like the Jquery and I vote for it… keep adding more nice jquery work….

Fantastic, post.

I would point out for those who uses the live(); which together with other functions such as change();, usually occurs bugs in Internet Explorer.

Congratulations!
