jPhotoGrid Zoomable Image Gallery jQuery Plugin
jPhotoGrid plugin takes a simple list of images and captions and turns it into a grid of photos that can be explored and zoomed. You can check out a demo here.
Nearly all of the styling for this plugin is done in css. The trick is to layout the grid by floating the list items. The first thing the plugin will then do, is convert these all to absolutely positioned. This is what allows the plugin to zoom in on an individual image and then return it to its place. Like my interactive map plugin, this depends on the browsers ability to scale images. In my stylesheet, the images are set to width:100% and I simply animate the size of the container.
