Update 10/13/2006: Put in a flag to check when an image is being swapped so that the user clicks don't register until image has fully loaded. This fixed the fast-click / double-click issue (on both the thumbnails as well as the back/next links)

Also updated the mouse hover area for the thumbnail activation to be 25px from the top by default (used to be 50). This is ofcourse configurable. I will have full explanation on how to use the gallery soon.

Demo page has been updated. You may also grab a zipped up version of the whole project here: gallery.zip.

I'm been playing around with jQuery a lot lately. It's definitely not the holy grail of Javascript toolkits, but I like it. The community created plugins and the documentation are great.

Anyway, here is my second jQuery application/plugin. It's an image gallery with smooth transitions, thumbnails and pretty reflections. Of course, this is the first version (something like a beta) and definitely not ready for prime time. However, feel free to grab it and use it as you please. A link back would be appreciated.

Just so that I can display the gallery here, I've put it within an IFRAME. Visit the original page to view/grab the source.

note: the IFRAME is causing some weird effects on the mouseover on the image as the thumbnails are loading. This doesn't happen on the actual demo page.
