Lightbox Gone Wild
While researching the best way to recreate a modal window for our current project, we ran into Lokesh Dhakar's lightbox.js and we knew we found a winner delivery container. Dhakar's method, however, while fantastic, was a bit too specific for our purposes and so we created our own implementation that we think is a bit more flexible for extending a web site's interface. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at how to create a modal window using some nifty JavaScript and CSS.

Building aB: Customizing Lightbox
So, there's been a HUGE buzz lately over Lightbox JS (and semi-modal Javascript overlays in general, as Particletree has recently discussed) as a way to deliver content to the user without a popup or reloading the page. This technique can be successfully used for many types of interactions, but it seems ideally suited for (and Lightbox JS is specifically made for) showing larger versions of images.

Lightbox JS
Lightbox JS is a simple, unobtrusive script used to to overlay images on the current page. It's a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers.

AJAX Slides
S5: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System
S5 is a slide show format based entirely on XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With one file, you can run a complete slide show and have a printer-friendly version as well. The markup used for the slides is very simple, highly semantic, and completely accessible.

AJAX-S
The name AJAX-S is short for AJAX-Slides (or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML Slides, if you want to). Naturally, one of my inspirations for creating a HTML-based slideshow are from Eric Meyer and his S5. However, I wanted to take it one notch further, to make it more flexible and also usable for people with no HTML knowledge whatsoever. Another motivating factor was to just transform the data for the current page, as opposed to creating all the HTML needed for all the pages when the page is initially loaded. A leaner end user experience, basically.

Slide Show with Controls
This slideshow uses the Zapatec effects to display and hide the different slides, resulting in a flash like smooth transitions. This is a product that must be purchased.

It resizes, it transitions, it fades in and out and it's not flash! The new AJAX slideshow on the homepage of my site comes to you courtesy of Scott Upton at Uptonic.

Live Thumbnails: Watch 'em Grow
They've been around since forever, and they all work the same way. You have a page full of thumbnails, and when you click one, you get a page with a larger version. What if thumbnails could grow into full images seamlessly right on the same page?

AJAX Image Manipulation
Canvas Reflection Demo
This is one of the most amazing javascript effects I've ever seen for images. It's also very easy to implement. All you do is upload the .js file and add a class="reflect" to the image.

iPhoto-like image resizing using Javascript
Upon seeing the Fluxiom intro video, I was compelled to figure out how they pulled off iPhoto-like image scaling in a browser. Leveraging the work of others, it's actually very simple. If you use the script.aculo.us slider control to capture input values, it's really just a matter of converting those values into something useful and modifying styles.

AJAX Banner Rotation
Rotate ads on a website, even when the page is not reloaded.
