I need to create a sliding billboard ad (just like the one on this website http://www.mlive.com/slidingbillboard/). I would prefer to use jQuery over Flash, for reasons I'm sure most understand. I've been Googling and haven't found a solution. In the end this will be thrown into Google Ad Manager to track click throughs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Note: This will go at the top of the site above all content.
This is easily implemented in jQuery
Look here

apply a few styles, hover effect.. and 'tadaaa' no flash or UI.
Have you taken a look at jQuery Effects? You can do things like animate cssProperties (i.e. background color, size, etc), you can slide in/out. You can fade in/out among many other operations. you mentioned jQuery already so this might be what you are looking for:

I'm trying to find a way to replace the flash animaton on this page http://www.autopulsen.se/ into jQuery. I could cut the images out and rotate them with javascript but it would require major changes in code. Basically I want to keep the same look without flash.
Is this possible?
Yes, you can.
Your starting point would be having a look at this site, there are a lot of zoom plugins on there, which is the main feature of that flash menu. Then you would want to chain the JQuery Shake effect, and maybe look at the fade effect.
To achieve the slanted look you will want to use the skew css selector as featured here.
I'll throw in GreenSock Animation Platform:
www.greensock.com/gsap-js
which may be worth a look, especially if there's the option of paying for a commercial license, as that includes a pretty nifty throwProps plugin.
you can use CSS3 animation but this one i think so good and hard to built in css3
anyway
giving you some animation generator
ceaser
CSS3animationGenrator
Css3Maker

I´m currently developing my first jQuery Plugin. It´s called Fraction Slider and is a Slideshow-Framwork which allows you to animate unlimited elements (with different animations, delay, etc) per slide.
Here you can find a small demo, and also the documentation:
Demo
It´s also hosted in the jQuery Plugin repository
So, introduction is over ;)
Now i have a few question:
The general code. What could i improve, what should be replaced, etc.
As you can see, when us different animations, delays, speeds etc. the html tag for each element will have an awfully lot of data-... attributes. I would like to make that a bit more easy and maybe with less markup (damn, i dont know how to say this in english).
How could i do that - any ideas or suggestions?
What should i add to the plugin? I was think about pager/controls, fading and simple show/hide effect and maybe making it responsive.
Last but not least: i would be happy to get some general feedback about the plugin and its realization.
Looks like it doesn't support chaining. e.g.
$('.step-slider').fractionSlider().remove();
I need a simple image rotator that rotates images by fading, centers vertically and is accepted by most if not all browsers. I however need to be able to customize the arrow images and place them anywhere i like. Anyone know of one?
If I try to visually show you what I need it would look like this.
< -- My back button [ image ] My next button -- >
I use jquery :) I've given plenty of rotators a shot already but they don't accept images of varying sizes or are not customizable.
If all you need is image rotation, why not do it yourself?
It's only a few lines of jQuery and infinitely customizable. :)
Example:
http://jsfiddle.net/jtbowden/UNZR5/1/
I generally like to stick to using this one: http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/
It can be as simple or as complex as you need, and is highly extensible. They also provide heaps of examples for what can be done with it.
Example with next/previous buttons here: http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/int2.html
Have you tried http://aviathemes.com/aviaslider/? It is customizable and is amazing.
Use jQuerytools scrollable by flowplayer. Very lightweight, flexible and they offer a CDN link to there js files so you don't have to load it from your server.
Scrollable http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/scrollable/gallery.html
Make sure to try out all there available scrollable examples.

i was wondering if anybody knows (and if there is such a thing) a javascript plugin that can do to following:
on the website http://www.worldofmerix.com/ click on any of the menu buttons on top for eg. "about us"; then you see a line appear in the middle and expand so that you can see the entire div...
I need a similar animation effect, flash is out of the question, so i have to use javascript...
i have some ideas on making it with some "smooth div fade in/out" js plugins, but i was wondering if there is a plugin SPECIFIC to the thing i need?
thanks very much in advance for the anwsers!
Ok, since you didn't state any jQuery "dont-wanting" I'd recommend you to check out jQuery. It is a set of JavaScript libraries that help you manage your HTML and CSS with some light code.
You can see HERE, HERE and HERE how it can animate divs and other elements (I see that it is what you need).
You can check out the official web site and there you can find all kinds of examples and documentation that you will ever need. I recommend you to see THIS (click RUN).
I have an idea I'm trying to implement.
I want to display half a dozen pictures on a screen, in say a circle shape, and as I hover over one with the mouse it fades from grey and white into full colour, maybe even getting a little larger, or generating a drop-shadow effect which stays while the mouse is over it.
Although I'm not too shabby on VB6 and SQL Server, my web development experience extends about at far as using notepad to generate raw HTML to display some favourite folders, links to websites and documents etc, in Active Desktop.
So guys, what programming resource websites should I be looking at, such as w3schools.com and specifically whether I should be using JavaScript or some other method ... also specific method calls to look at would be good.
I'm not after "here ... try this code" and then 10 screens of code to cut and paste, I'm after tips, such as "for the positioning, look at www.thiswebpage.com and look at XYZ" and "for the fade effect, look at ABC method on JavaScript" or whatever.
EDIT: 14/07/2009 - Just thought that this might be pertinent. I'll be hosting the pages on a Google Apps hosted website.
Also, the black and white fade effect wasn't the only effect I was considering, it was just one possibility. Other nice, subtle effects might be considered.
What you want to implement shouldn't be all that difficult. However if you do not know any JS then W3C schools is a good place to start.
You should also check out Mootools. It is a great framework for all your JS needs. They also have some great demos you can try.
For general effects and starting point for this type of user experience: JQuery
From there - research jQuery plugins that do this type of thing. Good search terms may be carousel.
Raphaël is a very nice Javascript library that can do everything you want. For instance, they have demos with drop shadows on images and with image rotation.
For that type of work I like to use Scriptaculous. It has a number of animation commands that are easy to use. You can run a bunch of effects in parallel on a DIV, so you can easily perform a MOVE and a SCALE effect on the same object and it handles the synchronization.
You can do all of this with regular old JavaScript.
Here is an example of a MOVE:
new Effect.Move('yourDIV', { x: 0, y: 0, mode: 'absolute' });
You could probably get a quite similar effect done by using some JS library which can animate CSS properties nicely. For example Scriptaculous and jQuery can probably fit the task and should be simple to learn.
The basic idea would be that you have an image in a div. The image's transparency can be set to 0.5, so the div's background color shades through it. This way you can get an effect similar to a black and white image with the correct choice of a background.
If you want an exact black and white effect or such, you will have to generate black and white versions of your images, or use the HTML5 canvas element to manually apply color transforms to the images. That won't work in older browsers and internet explorer, though.
Learn JS, you can learn the syntax from http://www.w3schools.com/JS/default.asp
Expand this knowledge with articles from known writers, like Crockford.
Salt it all with learning one of the leading frameworks (I like Mootools).
While doing steps 1-3 code, code, and do more coding.
You will need some form of Javascript, and if I were doing that I would look at the Script.aculo.us library. (An immediate effect could be done with CSS, but for a gradual fade, you will need Javascript.)
