Inspired by EaseBox and Highslide, I made this plugin http://parkerfox.parkerfox.railsplayground.net/labs/zoombox/
It's still very much in alpha and tested only in Firefox * loads large image upon click * can provide own loading HTML as an option * loads the images offscreen to determine their dimensions. * If image is larger than viewport it will scale it down * if image is smaller than viewport it puts it to 100%. * provides callbacks for onzoom and onunzoom - allowing users to dimscreen etc if they would like * supports easing, if required. Problems : * main problem so far is that I haven't been able to get it work without absolutely positioning the images which is a bit of a shame. * there's a funny wiggle on the top left image when it finishes unzooming All in all I'm trying to keep it very simple and extensible (hence why I extract dimscreen out and use callbacks instead). It would be nice to provide a flexible way to give a background template to the zoom image (e.g. white border or shadow). BTW: the image of the keyboard is a bit jerky when it moves - this is because it's a *very* large image. Any feedback much appreciated. weepy *...(
