Hi there, I have been using jquery for a couple of weeks now. I should say this is the best library out there. I come from raw javascript, prototype, mootools background and i am damn sure, i am not going back.
That said, a couple of days ago, i was looking for a carousel style widget for my app, and stumbled upon the excellent jCarousel plugin. The plugin is awesome. It has everything i needed and more. It worked like a charm out of the box, but my issue was that, my use-case used carousel as a secondary widget, and jCarousel seemed kinda like a overkill. So, i started developing my own mini carousel inspired by jCarousel and called it jCarouselLite. This is not a replacement for jCarousel by any means. It is just a light-weight alternative for those who might not need all the functionalities offered by jCarousel. The minified version is just under 1.5k in size. Yet, it is very flexible and customizable for many of our needs. Right now, the plugin is in very early stage and i thought i could get feedback from my friends here and see if there is any interest around it. I have put together a page to show-case all the things that are possible with it at http://www.gmarwaha.com/jquerylite/jcarousellite/html/jcarousellite.html#demo The basic html markup expected is just a "div" enclosing a "ul" element. You can have your navigation buttons anywhere. No special classes, or css files are required. The js is the lone file needed. <div class="anyClass"> <ul> <li><img src="someimage" alt="1"></li> <li><img src="someimage" alt="2"></li> <li><img src="someimage" alt="3"></li> <li><img src="someimage" alt="4"></li> </ul> </div> <button class="prev"><<</button> <button class="next">>></button> $(function() { $(".someClass").jCarouselLite({ btnNext: ".next", btnPrev: ".prev" }); }); Thanks in advance for all your feedback. Ganesh.
