FancyZoom-javascript image zooming

http://www.cabel.name/2008/02/fancyzoom-10.html

…so I fought back the charging Guanaco, immediately hopped on my paraglider, and basically caught the first flight out of Chile — but not without dealing with some cantankerous customs inspectors while drinking a cool glass of chicha. Really sorry it took so long! But hey, two years later, it's finally done!
Smooth Javascript Image Zooming For Your Web Pages
This much-requested chunk of Javascript to zoom images inline, originally written for this blog but later rolled out to the Panic website and used for screenshots, is now polished up, bug-fixed, available for you to use on your website!

Designed to view full-size photos and images inline without requiring a separate web page load, FancyZoom's raison d’être (French for "raisin-determination") is providing a smooth, clean, truly Mac-like effect, almost like it's a function of Safari itself. Since I originally wrote this script, there are now a lot of image zoomers to choose from (including a similar effect now on Apple's own site!), such as the popular (and inspiring) Lightbox. So you might be asking: "Cabel, why use FancyZoom?" Well, here's why!

    * Focused on the smoothest, most polished zooming animation possible
    * Automatically scales images from any image link, with no HTML changes
    * Preloads full-size images in the background on link mouseover
    * No resource-heavy Javascript libraries — 100% coded from scratch to zoom
    * Draws a nice drop shadow under the full-size image to offset it from the page
    * Uses Safari 3's "box-shadow" feature to draw the drop shadow natively, no images required
    * Requires only two new lines of code in your HTML
    * Tested and works with Safari, Firefox, IE7, and IE6. (Looks better in modern browsers.)

LightBox JS Web Gallery Generator – create a thumbnail gallery

http://pranas.net/  

LightBox JS Web Gallery Generator (formerly Pranas.NET Web Gallery Creator) is a very easy to use tool to create a simple, yet attractive image gallery from your photos. Just specify the input/output folders, the size of the thumbnails and full size image, and the program will do the rest. It will resize images, create the HTML pages – ready for you to use. It also includes an option to make the full-size original images available from the gallery, via a link that is pointing to the file. If you are familiar with CSS style sheet editing, you can further customize the pages in color and appearance, and use custom templates to integrate the gallery output.

jQuery – RAD JavaScript build interactive web applications 

http://jquery.com/

 jQuery is a new type of JavaScript library.

 jQuery UI is a set of themable widgets and interactions, built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library, that you can use to build highly interactive web applications.

The core of the library revolves around different mouse interactions, namely drag and dropping, sorting, selecting, and resizing.

On top of the core interactions are built a number of reusable widgets, including accordions, date pickers, dialogs, sliders, table sorters, and tabs.

Finally, the library is finished off with a few effects that you can use to liven up your site, specifically magnifier and shadow.
