DEMO SITE

jbgallery is a webpage UI widget written in javascript on top of the jQuery library.
Its function is to show a single big image, multiple images, multiple gallery, slideshow, as site’s background or in “dialog” mode or as a common pop-up
jbgallery has two basic menus, one has music player buttons the other gives directly links to single images.
jbgallery provides a pubblic API to remote control the component, so it would be easier to bind also with a more complex menu (i.e. with thumbnails).

Examples:

• Default
• Image centered
• Simple background
• Background slideshow
• Modal Multi gallery
• Modal vs simple popup
• Menu with numbers
• Custom labels
• No fade effect
• Test for ie
• Interval (slideshow)
• Callback for developer
• Api

KNOWN BUGS

Opera

I can’t prevent on the keydown default event (arrows) in Opera.
At “arrows” keydown that causes a pervers effect.
If you know a solution, please contact me.

DESIGN/GRAPHIC

The component is published with a minimalist graphic layout.
You are free to customize css and to ask me any change to add classes to the simple menus edited by me.
If you use API or design more complex menus, or if you write plugins populating html lists via ajax by flickr
or similar services, please share with me for the next version of this plugin.
