Using mootools v1.11, this javascript gallery and slideshow system allows you to have simple and smooth (cross-fading…) image galleries, slideshows, showcases and other cool u to have simple and smooth (cross-fading…) image galleries, slideshows, showcases and other cool stuff on your website…
Unlike other systems out there, JonDesign’s SmoothGallery is designed from the ground up to be standard compliant: You can feed it from any document, using custom css selectors.
And even better, this solutions is very lightweight: The javascript file is only 24kb.
Why consider it instead of a Flash-based solution ?
- Let’s imagine you want to add a showcase of your last products, or even a showcase of one product on your homepage. Would you want to restrict it only to the users who have Flash enabled ?
- Another important point is the fact that using this script, you will have fully standard compliant web pages (which is important for accessibility, for example).
- Using a flash based solution, search engines won’t see your content nor links. Not really the expected result, right ?
- Oh, and do you really want to rely on a big company’s proprietary licensed app for your website ?
Since it’s based on the mootools library, it’s somehow platform agnostic. It is fully tested on:
- Firefox
- Opera
- Internet Explorer 6 and 7
- Safari
