Best examples of jQuery Sliders Effects and WordPress Plugins

Nur — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:21:47 +0000

jQuery are the best way to display your row images to present to your visitors. There are lots of option and customization that can create very simple, beautiful and good looking image sliders. Yesterday I written a tutorial on HOW TO: Create A Vertical Scrolling News Ticker on WordPress With jQuery Carousel. In this post you’re going to find different types of pre-made jQuery plugins and unique image galleries for inspiration, and at the end there are some WordPress themes if you want to develop your own site image slider with beautiful effects.

jQuery Slider, Slideshow and jQuery Carousel Effects

3d Rotation Viewer

This example is inspired by a showcase example by Apple of HTML5 technologies. The UIZE implementation works in pretty much all browsers, with no need for HTML5 or CSS3 features. This was an exercise in seeing how easy it would be to create an equivalent experience in UIZE. It was easy, taking less than a day. The code is all original, with absolutely no referencing of Apple’s code (but thanks to Apple for their delicious iPod Touch products, and for their fabulous photos of said products). In the example, an instance of the Uize.Widget.Drag class is being used to create a simple 3D rotation viewer. Using a mouse, you can click and drag to rotate the 3D image. On an Apple iPad, you can use your finger.

jQuery Banner Rotator / Slideshow

This is a jQuery banner rotator plugin featuring multiple transitions. The thumbnails and buttons allow for easy navigation of your banners/ads. The banner rotator is also re-sizable and configurable through the plugin’s parameters.

The markup is valid HTML5 and SEO optimzied, with all content always being available to search engines. When using this plugin, your page layout will be consistent even if javascript has been disabled. This slider includes a smooth and powerful Ken Burns effect which is completely configurable and compatible with all major browsers (including ie7 to ie9, Firefox Chrome, Opera, Safari) and mobile platforms like iphone / ipad. If the Ken Burns effect is not your thing, that’s OK because the “Estro” slider also includes a 2-way “Swipe” mode with configurable transitions.

Highslide JS

Highslide JS is an image, media and gallery viewer written in JavaScript. These are some of its advantages:

Quick and elegant looking.
No plugins like Flash or Java required.
Popup blockers are no problem. The content opens within the active browser window.
Single click. After opening the image or HTML popup, the user can scroll further down or leave the page without closing it.
Lots of configuration options and scalability without compromizing on simplicity. A component system lets you strip away unused features down to a filesize of 10kB.
Outstanding, unconditional and free user support for both commercial and non-commercial users.
Compatibility and safe degrading. If the user has disabled JavaScript or is using an old browser, the browser redirects directly to the image itself or to a given HTML page.
Source code included.

CrossSlide

CrossSlide is a jQuery plugin implementing in 2kB of Javascript code some common slide-show animations, traditionally only available via Adobe Flash™ or other proprietary plugins. CrossSlide builds upon jQuery’s animation facility, so it is as portable across browsers as jQuery itself (that is, a lot!) Internally CrossSlide does not rely on lookup tables, building instead a “chain” of functions. Each function starts a linear phase of the animation through jQuery, setting the next function in the chain as a complete callback. After all the functions are prepared and the animation is started, no other calculations are made. This setup reduces runtime overhead to the absolute minimum, making CrossSlide the most optimized implementation of these effects.

Thumbnails Navigation Gallery with jQuery

In this tutorial we are going to create an extraordinary gallery with scrollable thumbnails that slide out from a navigation. We are going to use jQuery and some CSS3 properties for the style. The main idea is to have a menu of albums where each item will reveal a horizontal bar with thumbnails when clicked. The thumbnails container will scroll automatically when the user moves the mouse to the left or right.

Live preview | Download

Step Carousel Viewer

Step Carousel Viewer displays images or even rich HTML by side scrolling them left or right. Users can step to any specific panel on demand, or browse the gallery sequentially by stepping through x number of panels each time. A smooth sliding animation is used to transition between steps. And fear not in taming this script to go exactly where you want it to- two public methods, two custom event handlers, and three “status” variables are here for that purpose.

Text Effects with jQuery

jQuery Word Counter

This plugin allows you to set and limit user input by max characters within html textarea (it is only limited by characters other than words). It binds keyup, paste and drag events. The extra div is displayed under the textarea, which shows the current number of input characters and words. You can set your own styles and customise the text counter information. Version 2 provides the callback function.

jTicker Typing Text Effect using jQuery

For long now flash has been dominating the interactive web animation, using JavaScript was a daunting task. But introduction of frameworks like jQuery, MooTools, Scriptaculous, etc have made animating web component much easier. Another advantage of using these frameworks over flash is that they are search engine friendly. Though search engine do not index JavaScript, actual content is present in html or other SEO friendly code.

Codename Rainbows

Even without Photoshop, you can make text effects with this by just typing a little code.

Grab bag, jQuery text effects

Some fun little text effects. These manipulate $(ele).text() so will probably be disastrously broken with inner HTML content.

Color Changing Text and Backgrounds Effects

Normally you would define the (background) color in the CSS and that would be the end of it. In this case we want to be able to adjust colors after the page has loaded, and not just once either – we’re aiming for continuous adjustments.

The lovely part about this whole thing is the small about of jQuery required to make it all happen.

Fade Colors Using jQuery

Retweetradar has nice little effect in the footer – links in top lists fade, emphasizing the most popular links with strongest color intensity. This tutorial will explain how to fade a color in array of elements using jQuery.

Playing with jQuery Color Plugin and Color Animation

jQuery is an easy and useful JavaScript library. If you are someone with basic knowledge of JavaScript you can easily insert jQuery plugins and effects. You do not need to be hardcore coder or developer for that. In this post you will see how to create some cool menus with jQuery and jQuery Color Plugin.

jQuery Approach

Approach is a jQuery plugin that allows you to animate style properties based on the cursor’s proximity to an object. It works in a very similar manner to jQuery animate, however it animates over distance instead of time.

AutoCompleter

AutoCompleter Tutorial

I thought i would write this tutorial because most of the auto completer applications i have seen just dump the code into a zip and tell you how to use it rather than how and why it works, knowing about this enables you to customise it a lot more (this has been demonstrated with the other apps i have written here)!

3d Tag Sphere

A rotating 3d tag cloud controlled with the mouse. Tags are scaled according to the weight assigned to them and fade into the background as they rotate.

Simple jQuery Text Resizer

The idea is very simple: you click on the text size you want, and a class is added to the body to indicate which size the user has selected. Then, we take advantage of that body class when we are writing our CSS to size the different elements appropriately.

Airport

Airport is a rather simple text effect plugin for Jquery. It emulates the style of those flickering information boards you sometimes find on airports and train stations.

Flip HTML content in 3D

In order to use the rotate3Di jQuery plugin, your web page will need to include jQuery v1.2.6 or newer, the jQuery CSS Transform patch, and the rotate3Di plugin itself.

Circulate

This is a very excellent plugin. after open the page, the object will revolve around the page and if you click the buttons, it will jump in a circular motion and bounce back into position.

Spritely

jQuery.spritely is a jQuery plugin created by Artlogic for creating dynamic character and background animation in pure HTML and JavaScript. It’s a simple, light-weight plugin with a few simple methods for creating animated sprites such as the birds you see on this page, and dynamic scrolling backgrounds.

Animated Curtain

This tutorial would not be anything special without the graphics, so let’s make sure you’ve got those under control. I’ve included the ones used in demo as part of the attached files, now would be a good time to download them if you intend to use them.

jQuery Animated Postcard

Nicely illustrated banners are…nice. But why not add a little pizazz by using animation like Flash websites do? Through Javascript web pages are becoming increasingly less static and all sorts of creative possibilities are opening up.

Quicksand

Reorder and filter items with a nice shuffling animation.

jAni jQuery Plugin Animation

jAni is a simple plugin for jQuery which allows you animate background images. The plugin is basically an alternative to the animated GIF but with several benefits. At first, it’s always better to use an animated GIF as this format is supported by all browsers without any JavaScript code or additional markup, but the “dark side” of it is that an animated GIF allows only 256 colors and you cannot control animation in any way. The jAni loads a long vertical image and changes its background position with the speed you setup, giving you more control of the animation.

Animated Landscape Header with jQuery

In this tutorial we’ll start with a cartoon themed header, build two different states for content and animate a transition between them using jQuery.

jQuery Parallax

A parallax style implementation of user interactions. When the mouse moves over the document (or a specific element) the actions can be translated to modify any CSS property of an element for example an image position, to give a parallax style effect.

Rezoner’s jEffects

jEffects enhances user interaction by providing decorative effects. It’s all packaged into an intuitive jQuery plugin. Detailed documentation is included.

Rotating Billboard with jQuery

In this tutorial we will use some images, CSS and jQuery to create the effect of a rotating billboard with two ads. The idea is to make one set of image slices disappear while another one (the other ad) appear. We will decrease the width of each disappearing slice and increase the width of each appearing slice. This will give the effect of rotating slices, just like in a rotating billboard system.

jQuery Flight Board

A jQuery plugin that sets a division to flip between text messages like a flight board at an airport.

Animated Cartoon Robot with jQuery

Aside from being a fun exercise, what purpose does something like this have? None that’s plainly obvious. Its about as useful as a miniature ship in a bottle. Yet it does have an underlying purpose. It could inspire someone to look beyond the perceived constraints of web designers and developers.

Custom Animation Banner with jQuery

The idea is to have different elements in a banner that will animate step-wise in a custom way. We will be using the jQuery Easing Plugin and the jQuery 2D Transform Plugin to create some nifty animations.

“Holiday – Seasons Greetings” – HTML Email Template (designed by Bob)

From the designer:

“Normally I choose not to use a background color for my email templates, however, for this design I couldn’t resist. Recently in a lot of my design work I’ve been tending to add a light source which I think helps bring the design to life giving it a more sophisticated feel. I also carried the snowflakes slightly outside of the frame of the email to make the design feel that much more three dimensional.”

“Holiday – Snow Hills” – HTML Email Template (designed by Dan)

From the designer:

I chose to include a snow scene in the template to elicit the feeling of winter and a white Christmas. Blue was the obvious color scheme choice for me to add to the feeling of winter. The candy cane-like red and white stripe was added to help separate the header and body content. This also provided a bit of color variation and visual interest below the snow scene in the header of this Christmas email template.
