Highslide JS - JavaScript thumbnail viewer
by 10 others (via)Highslide JS, formerly Vevstein Thumbnail Expander, is a piece of JavaScript that streamlines the use of thumbnail images on web pages. The library offers these features and advantages:
* No plugins like Flash or Java required.
* Popup blockers are no problem. The images expand within the active browser window.
* Single click. After expanding the image, the user can scroll further down or leave the page without restoring the image.
* The approach uses two separate images. No heavy full-size image packed into thumbnail display size! The full-size image is loaded in the background either on page load or when the user clicks the thumb. You specify this option in the script's settings.
* Compatibility and safe fallback. If the user has disabled JavaScript or the JavaScript fails in any way, the browser redirects directly to the image itself. This fallback is able to cope with most exceptions and incompatibilities.
