In the last few months, the designers and developers at Shepline Creative have discovered, and fallen in love with, jQuery. With reasonably simple and straight-forward, lightweight code, there seems to be endless possibilities for exciting and vibrant designs.
Some of my favourite jQuery effects at the moment are:
- CrossSlide – some common slide-show animations, traditionally only available via Adobe Flash™ or other proprietary plugins. CrossSlide builds upon jQuery’s animation facility, so it is as portable across browsers as jQuery itself (that is, a lot!)
- Catch My Flame: Infinite Caroursel – excellent slideshow/gallery software
- jTabber – for tabbed pages
- Accordian – nifty accordian/show-and-hide for cascading content
