The jQuery Slideshow Lite plugin is updated with new features!
This is a major rewrite which fixed the known issue of not being able to change slides instantly via pagination clicks.
The new version also adds automatic photo caption display.
Enjoy! :)
Latest release: v0.5.3
A few days ago I was asked to make a simple slideshow. My initial thought was, there must be a ton of solutions available for jQuery. I could easily draw inspiration from them.
I was wrong. Whilst there are a few nicely done slideshow plugins for jQuery, the majority of them are either poorly written or far too complicated.
So, I decided to code my own plugin from the ground up. Meet Slideshow Lite!
The plugin is only tested with jQuery 1.3, but it should also work on jQuery 1.2.
The jQuery Endless Scroll plugin has been updated.
A bug caused by ‘fireDelay‘ is fixed.
Please head over to the release post or the jQuery plugin site for the download link.
A simple Google search suggests that people are having problems with jQuery.slideDown() on Internet Explorer.
I’ve come across two issues on Internet Explorer 7 while developing a website containing some slideDown() effects, and found some quick fixes for them. :)
Latest release: v1.4.1
If you don’t already know, endless scroll (or infinite scrolling) is a popular technique among web 2.0 sites such as Google Reader and Live Image Search, where instead of paging through items using the traditional pagination technique, the page just keeps loading with new items attached to the end.
I have developed a jQuery plugin to easily achieve this.
Requirement: jQuery 1.2+
The plugin is tested with jQuery 1.2.6, 1.3 and 1.4.
There are a few options to customise the behaviour of this plugin:
So your jQuery/JavaScript code doesn’t have any errors, yet your site isn’t working as expected in Internet Explorer? It could be that you have some SWFObject code interfering with your jQuery code (if for example, you’re using a Flash video player or something along those lines). The solution is very simple. Simply enclose your SWFObject code in a jQuery $(document).ready() as so:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "400", "100%", "8", "#336699");
so.addParam("quality", "low");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addParam("salign", "t");
so.write("flashcontent");
});
</script>
The only downside to this is that if you have some alternate HTML to show when Flash isn’t present, this text will be shown until the document is fully loaded and the player(s) start to render (even if the user does in fact have Flash installed).
