I am not a UI developer I normally stay on the backend of things, but I am trying to figure out how to build a simple banner to my site just like how amazon has done. I really like the look and feel to. I assume that comes from CSS side.
I have attached a image from amazon website. On amazon site user can click each "Menu" on the bar and respective banner will nicely show with a slide effect. I have select kindle here and you can click any other option on live site to see exactly what I am referring to. I am not sure where would be a good starting point.
There are tons of jquery plugins that do just this - http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/web-development/jquery-slideshow/. However, here's a little one I just built for fun:

It's only got the basics. You click a link and it slides. For that the css and jquery are just a few lines long. I guess it should be easy to customize.

I would like to make a news portal, where next to the post excerpts there will be an image. When you click on the image, the title or the post excerpt , the whole content will be shown (accordion / toggle effect), resizing automatically, in the responsive way, the assigned picture. How to do that on any drupal theme? Example – news.google.com

Maybe there is an extension / module or template that allows for a simple adaptation of such a solution? I know there are accordion plugins, but I do not know how to apply them to the images auto-expand on-click along with content.
Thank you!
This is more front-end than drupal question.
And "how" - you have to make your own theme by inheriting some other (if you don't want to start from scratch).
Then, you have what will that your page be? Node in some new content type or a view or something else.
Then, find some documentation/tutorial how to theme that kind of page.
You must have some deeper understanding how the drupal works before going to real work.
I would like to display an infographic on my page via a pop out like the facebook photo viewer, rather than just have a popup window be created with the image in it. I just like the UI of a pop out versus a pop up (no window management).
Is there a jQuery/javascript library that accomplishes the pop out functionality?
I'm trying to emulare visual.ly that loads the infographic in a pop out once you click the preview image.
Thanks
There are a lot of them. Search Google for "jQuery Lightbox" and at least one of them should match your needs.
For jQuery, try fancybox, a lightbox alternative.
There is also this page which compares different alternatives.
Yoxvew is a pretty good one. The downside to it is as far as I know it does not allow for scrolling, so you can't use larger images. There are a ton of these plugins around though. If none of them fit your needs it isn't too hard to make your own, or you can modify an existing library.
The page you link to use Colorbox.js to view photos.
This can be done simply with two <div> tags as well. One, which blankets the whole page with some semi transparent color or image and has a z-index larger than the whole page. Two, which has a z-index larger than one, is spaced relevantly, and contains whatever you want to show. Rolling your own isn't always desirable, as there are plenty of pre-written alternatives pointed out such as fancybox, lightbox, etc., but sometimes it is nice to know your options.
I have installed "Easy Nivo Slider" plugin for WordPress in order to show a slideshow in the heading of the site I'm working on and it seems that the plugin generates things like thumbnail navigation and etc inside the IMG tag with javascript. I have never seen this method before and all the changes (margins, paddings) have no effect even close to what I'd like to get. Basically, what I want is to have a slider with a title and description place and thumbnail navigation (whereas the thumbnail is not the smaller image of it, but another one, custom one, defined in a post's custom fields (I think I can do that myself). All I need is to be able to use CSS however I want it to, because right now the only function that actually responded was the font-size.
You can see the half-done site live at http://work.codera.in/re to get a look at the code and to get a glimpse of how I want to be able to modify it in the end result is here: https://minus.com/lbyerG4OncvwdZ
Why don't you try http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-nivo-slider/ or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-nivo-slider/ . From what i can see here wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-nivo-slider/ easy nivo plugin appears to be broken.
I was looking to create an image gallery in my blog. However, I was wondering how possible it would be for the gallery to scroll through my images on mouseOver. Basically, when the user moves his/her mouse up or down the image gallery, the images scroll up or down accordingly.
I have seen a few examples where it has been done in flash, but i was wondering if it was possible for it to be done in Javascript. An example of what I am talking about can be seen on deep.co.uk. This example is constructed in flash and allows the user to skim through the agency's portfolio by moving the mouse up and down the div. I am aware that loads of free javascript alternatives are online, but i haven't managed to find anyone that does it on mouseOver. I would appreciate it if someone has come across something like this or has used something like this in one of their projects.
Thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Seedorf
Maaki has i nice version here:
http://www.maaki.com/thomas/SmoothDivScroll/
supports mouse hot spot scrolling, and auto start/stop
Here is a script which scrolls content vertically onMouseOver.

I am currently developing a site and have a need for a javascript-based carousel/slider hybrid on the home page that fades between 3 or 4 different images automatically, giving the user the chance to click on one and go to another page on the site. I also need the different slides to have some sort of navigation, denoted either by names for each slide (like in the Coda slider effect) or by symbols (such as dots for each slide), to allow users to review their options before clicking on the slide to visit the particular highlighted section.
I have seen this done in many ways with flash , but the only javascript approach I have seen that meets my needs is the one used by Apple on the new iLife page (link). Does anyone have any ideas what they are using or if there is a project that is similar to their implementation?
Thanks in advance.
Unless I'm missing something, the navigation on iLife looks like a photo gallery where the large photo links to the destination. I've used the jQuery Galleria for photo galleries because the animation effects are superb. Also the forum provides helpful community-based support.
If you wanted a carousel-style animation with the images sliding left and right, might try the jQuery Carousel library. I have not used it myself though so cannot comment on its ease-of-use or quality.
jQuery animate or jCarousel
The YUI Carousel Control would be another starting point to have a look at. (Note as of writing it is currently in beta.)
Hey I am not sure how helpful this will be but check out this slider. It is super simple and has the navigation thumbnails i think you are looking for
