jquery
FancyBox - Fancy image zooming tool
Posted by Tomislav Bilic under Tools @ 4th JUN 2008
There are many Lightbox clones this days. Some are fancier, some are lighter, some use jQuery, some do not. In this wast set of options, I found one I think I will prefer from today: FancyBox - fancy image zooming tool
It is based on jQuery and is a cool alternative to existing solutions. Here are some features:
- Automatically scales large images to fit in window
- Adds a nice drop shadow under the zoomed item
- Groups related items and adds navigation through them (uses preloading)
- Can display images, inline and iframed content
- Customizable through settings and CSS
Other Lightbox alternatives I found are:
- Lightview
- prettyPhoto
- Slimbox
- Highslide
- LightWindow
- Thickbox
- and many more; full comparison can be found at The Lightbox Clones Matrix
