Create an Image Gallery with jQuery
A
nother extremely popular and extremely versatile Ajax library is jQuery. Originally developed by
John Resig, it was released in 2006 and has quickly become one of the most-used JavaScript
libraries available. It is free and open source. A particularly popular implementation of jQuery
involves creating image sliders, or animated image galleries. The Nivo Slider is particularly easy
to use because it involves simply downloading a JavaScript file and creating an unordered list of
images. With any image slider, you should first ensure that all of your images are the same size.
