The task was to create a script that will allow users to see large details of the product while moving cursor over medium sized image.

This plugin is customizable with several options and simple CSS definitions. In terms of CSS all you need to do is define the newly created image zoom element's size, position and appearance.

This all the code.


<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="easyzoom.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
 
 $('a.zoom').easyZoom();

});
</script>

<style type="text/css">
#container{
 padding:10px;

CSS Circle Button

Thursday, May 26, 2011 Posted by Unknown

See Demo at the bottom of the page.

With the new features that CSS3 have creating a variety of button. In this example, radius of the border, padding the button, the height and width modified, it can look like a circle. And added the rotateX property that currently only supported in web kit browser, to make it look like from different angle.

This all the simple code.

Background Animations Using MooTools

Friday, May 20, 2011 Posted by Unknown

One of the sweet effects made easy by JavaScript frameworks like MooTools and jQuery is animation. Here's a quick MooTools code snippet that shows how you can add animating a background image to any element on a page.

The CSS


#animate-area { 
 background-image:url(clouds.png);
 background-position:0px 0px;
 background-repeat:repeat-x;
}

The first step is assigning the image as a background image for our given container. Be sure to repeat the background horizontally!

The HTML


<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/mootools/1.3.1/mootools.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  window.addEvent('domready',function() {
   //settings
   var duration = 40000;
   var length = 2000;
   var count = 0;
   
   var tweener;
   
   // Executes the standard tween on the background position
   var run = function() {
    tweener.tween('background-position','-' + (++count * length) + 'px 0px');
   };
   
   // Defines the tween
   tweener = $('animate-area').setStyle("background-position","0px 0px").set('tween',{ 
    duration: duration, 
    transition: Fx.Transitions.linear,
    onComplete: run,
    wait: false
   });
   
   // Starts the initial run of the transition
   run();
   
  });
</script>

The first step, as always is getting our settings ready for the show. The next piece is putting the animation function in place. We increment the negative background left position counter calculation to keep the show rolling. Last step is playing the show!

Make sure the animation speed is very slow and subtle -- a rapid background speed could make your users pass out. On the other hand, implementing it tastefully will make your website unique.

Cursor Following Menu for Site

Sunday, May 08, 2011 Posted by Unknown

image by manos.malihu.gr

The idea behind the script was to create a floating navigation that follows the moving cursor throughout the page. The goal was to make the menu itself as minimal as possible with “discreet” float animation to avoid obtrusiveness and help usability. The end result features simple markup, two levels navigation and styling via css. An extra feature included in the plugin is the function that animates the page to anchor points. See demo in this page.

How to use it

Inside the head tag of your document attach the menu stylesheet (malihu.cfm.css) which holds the style for the menu and load both jquery.min.js (straight from Google) and the jquery.easing.1.3.js plugin that adds custom easing to our animations.


<link href="malihu.cfm.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery.easing.1.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Inside the body tag, insert the menu markup.


<div id="cf_menu">
<div class="container">
<div class="title">MENU</div>
<ul>
<li><a href="#home">↑ Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#about">About me</a></li>
<li><a href="work">+ Work</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#recent">Recent</a></li>
<li><a href="#web">Web</a></li>
<li><a href="#print">Print</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#blog">Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="links">+ Interesting links</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#freebies">Freebies & Resources</a></li>
<li><a href="#people">People</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="info">+ Script info</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://manos.malihu.gr/cursor-following-menu/">See the post</a></li>
<li><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/downloads/tuts/cursor_following_menu.zip');" href="http://manos.malihu.gr/tuts/cursor_following_menu.zip">↓ Download</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="http://manos.malihu.gr">malihu</a></li>
</ul></div>
</div>

You can have a single sub-level on menu options by adding an additional unordered list inside list items.

Add the menu script and plugin at the end of the document, just before the closing body tag.


<script>
//cursor following menu config
$mouseover_title="+ MENU"; //menu title text on mouse-over
$mouseout_title="MENU"; //menu title text on mouse-out
$menu_following_speed=2000; //the speed in which the menu follows the cursor (in milliseconds)
$menu_following_easing="easeOutCirc";
$menu_cursor_space=30; //space between cursor and menu
$menu_show_speed="slow"; //menu open animation speed
$menu_show_easing="easeOutExpo"; //menu open animation easing type
$menu_hide_speed="slow"; //menu close animation speed
$menu_hide_easing="easeInExpo"; //menu close animation easing type
</script>
 
<script src="malihu.jquery.cfm.js"></script>

You can easily configure the menu by changing each variable to your liking.

Rotating Image Slider with jQuery

Wednesday, May 04, 2011 Posted by Unknown

image by tympanus.net

In the following tutorial we will create an asymmetrical image slider with a little twist: when sliding the pictures we will slightly rotate them and delay the sliding of each element. The unusual shape of the slider is created by some elements placement and the use of thick borders. We will also add an autoplay option and the mousewheel functionality.

We’ll use the jQuery 2D Transformation Plugin for rotating the images and the jQuery Mousewheel Plugin by Brandon Aaron for the mousewheel control.

The beautiful photos are by Andrew and Lili and you can see their Behance profile here:
http://www.behance.net/AndrewLili

The images are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License.

The HTML

First, we will wrap all our slider elements in a wrapper with the class “rm_wrapper”:


<div class="rm_wrapper">
...
</div>

Inside of that wrapper we will have a container for the actual slider list, some mask and corner elements, the heading and a hidden div that will contain all the image sets:


<div id="rm_container" class="rm_container">
 <ul>
  <li data-images="rm_container_1" data-rotation="-15">
   <img src="images/1.jpg"/>
  </li>
  <li data-images="rm_container_2" data-rotation="-5">
   <img src="images/2.jpg"/>
  </li>
  <li data-images="rm_container_3" data-rotation="5">
   <img src="images/3.jpg"/>
  </li>
  <li data-images="rm_container_4" data-rotation="15">
   <img src="images/4.jpg"/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 <div id="rm_mask_left" class="rm_mask_left"></div>
 <div id="rm_mask_right" class="rm_mask_right"></div>
 <div id="rm_corner_left" class="rm_corner_left"></div>
 <div id="rm_corner_right" class="rm_corner_right"></div>
 <h2>Fashion Explosion 2012</h2>
 <div style="display:none;">
  <div id="rm_container_1">
   <img src="images/1.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/5.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/6.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/7.jpg"/>
  </div>
  <div id="rm_container_2">
   <img src="images/2.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/8.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/9.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/10.jpg"/>
  </div>
  <div id="rm_container_3">
   <img src="images/3.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/11.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/12.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/13.jpg"/>
  </div>
  <div id="rm_container_4">
   <img src="images/4.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/14.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/15.jpg"/>
   <img src="images/16.jpg"/>
  </div>
 </div>
</div>

So the unordered lists will have the first set of four images where each list element has some data attributes for the image sets and the rotation degree. We will use that data to know which images come next and how much each image should be rotated.

The mask and corner divs will be absolute elements that we will place on top of the slider, slightly rotated in order to cover some areas. Since we will use the same background color for these elements like the body’s background color, we will create the illusion of the images being shaped in a certain way.

Then we’ll add the elements for the navigation and the autoplay controls:


<div class="rm_nav">
 <a id="rm_next" href="#" class="rm_next"></a>
 <a id="rm_prev" href="#" class="rm_prev"></a>
</div>
<div class="rm_controls">
 <a id="rm_play" href="#" class="rm_play">Play</a>
 <a id="rm_pause" href="#" class="rm_pause">Pause</a>
</div>

Let’s take a look at the CSS.

The CSS

First, we’ll reset some styles and define the properties for the body. (Remember, if we would have another background color, we would want to change the background and border colors of some of the elements in our slider, too.)


@import url('reset.css');
body{
 background:#f0f0f0;
 color:#000;
 font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow', Arial, sans-serif;
 font-size:16px;
}
a{
 color:#000;
 text-decoration:none;
}
h1{
 padding:10px;
 margin:20px;
 font-size:40px;
 text-transform:uppercase;
 text-shadow:0px 0px 1px #fff;
 color:#333;
 background:transparent url(../images/line.png) repeat-x bottom left;
}

The main wrapper will have the following style:


.rm_wrapper{
 width:1160px;
 margin:0 auto;
 position:relative;
}

The container for the slider will have any overflow hidden, which will help shaping our slider since we will cut off the outer sides of it:


.rm_container{
 width:1050px;
 overflow:hidden;
 position:relative;
 height:530px;
 margin:0 auto;
}

The heading will have the following style:


.rm_container h2{
 background:transparent url(../images/lines.png) repeat top left;
 padding:10px 30px;
 position:absolute;
 bottom:170px;
 right:0px;
 color:#000;
 font-size:36px;
 text-transform:uppercase;
 text-shadow:1px 0px 1px #fff;
}

Let’s define the width for the ul to be bigger than the container since we want to make the list element float next to each other:


.rm_container ul{
 width:1170px;
}

By giving a negative left margin and a thick border to the list element, we will overlap the images and cut off the right sides so that we create our asymmetrical shapes by rotating the elements then. The border color will be the same like the background color of the body (or the container).


.rm_container ul li{
 float:left;
 margin-left:-80px;
 position:relative;
 overflow:hidden;
 width:310px;
 height:465px;
 border:30px solid #f0f0f0;
 border-width:50px 30px 0px 30px;
 background-color:#f0f0f0;
}

We’ll position the images absolutely:


.rm_container ul li img{
 position:absolute;
 top:0px;
 left:0px;
}

In the following we will style the mask and the corner elements. They will be all positioned absolutely and we’ll give them the grey background color. By rotating them, we’ll make the images to appear as being “shaped”:


.rm_mask_right, .rm_mask_left{
 position: absolute;
 height: 110px;
 background: #f0f0f0;
 width: 530px;
 bottom: -30px;
 left: 0px;
 -moz-transform:rotate(-3deg);
 -webkit-transform:rotate(-3deg);
 transform:rotate(-3deg);
}
.rm_mask_right{
 left:auto;
 right:0px;
 -moz-transform:rotate(3deg);
 -webkit-transform:rotate(3deg);
 transform:rotate(3deg);
}
.rm_corner_right, .rm_corner_left{
 background: #f0f0f0;
 position:absolute;
 width:200px;
 height:100px;
 bottom:0px;
 left:-65px;
 -moz-transform:rotate(45deg);
 -webkit-transform:rotate(45deg);
 transform:rotate(45deg);
}
.rm_corner_right{
 left:auto;
 right:-65px;
 -moz-transform:rotate(-45deg);
 -webkit-transform:rotate(-45deg);
 transform:rotate(-45deg);
}

The navigation elements will be placed to the left and right of the main container:


.rm_nav a{
 position:absolute;
 top:200px;
 width:38px;
 height:87px;
 cursor:pointer;
 opacity:0.7;
}
.rm_nav a:hover{
 opacity:1.0;
}
.rm_nav a.rm_next{
 background:transparent url(../images/next.png) no-repeat top left;
 right:0px;
}
.rm_nav a.rm_prev{
 background:transparent url(../images/prev.png) no-repeat top left;
 left:0px;
}

The pause/play control will be placed to the top left of the main container:


.rm_controls{
 position:absolute;
 top:0px;
 left:-40px;
 height:20px;
}
.rm_controls a{
 cursor:pointer;
 opacity:0.7;
 padding-left:24px;
 font-size:16px;
 text-transform:uppercase;
 height:20px;
 float:left;
 line-height:20px;
}
.rm_controls a:hover{
 opacity:1.0;
}
.rm_controls a.rm_play{
 display:none;
 background:transparent url(../images/play.png) no-repeat center left;
}
.rm_controls a.rm_pause{
 background:transparent url(../images/pause.png) no-repeat center left;
}

And that’s all the style! Let add the spice!

The JavaScript

The main idea for the slider functionality is to add another image before the current one with a slightly increased rotation degree than the current item. Then we will animate the rotation and make the new images appear.

So let’s start by caching some elements and checking if we are dealing with a special needs browser in order to deal with some issues:


//our 4 items
var $listItems   = $('#rm_container > ul > li'),
 totalItems  = $listItems.length,

 //the controls
 $rm_next  = $('#rm_next'),
 $rm_prev  = $('#rm_prev'),
 $rm_play  = $('#rm_play'),
 $rm_pause  = $('#rm_pause'),

 //the masks and corners of the slider
 $rm_mask_left = $('#rm_mask_left'),
 $rm_mask_right = $('#rm_mask_right'),
 $rm_corner_left = $('#rm_corner_left'),
 $rm_corner_right= $('#rm_corner_right'),

 //check if the browser is <= IE8
 ieLte8   = ($.browser.msie && parseInt($.browser.version) <= 8),

Then we will define our main function:


RotateImageMenu = (function() {
...
})();

RotateImageMenu.init();

And then we define the following in our function:


//difference of animation time between the items
var timeDiff   = 300,
 //time between each image animation (slideshow)
 slideshowTime  = 3000,
 slideshowInterval,
 //checks if the images are rotating
 isRotating   = false,
 //how many images completed each slideshow iteration
 completed   = 0,
 /*
 all our images have 310 of width and 465 of height.
 this could / should be dynamically calculated
 if we would have different image sizes.

 we will set the rotation origin at
 x = width/2 and y = height*2
 */
 origin    = ['155px', '930px'],
 init    = function() {
  configure();
  initEventsHandler();
 },
 //initialize some events
 initEventsHandler = function() {
  /*
  next and previous arrows:
  we will stop the slideshow if active,
  and rotate each items images.
  1  rotate right
  -1  rotate left

As you noticed, we will treat older browsers a bit differently so that the slider works properly.

Shutter Effect with jQuery

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 Posted by Unknown

This functionality will come in the form of an easy to use jQuery plugin that you can easily incorporate into any website which displays a set of featured photos with a camera shutter effect.

jquery.shutter.css


<style>
#container{
 width:640px;
 height:400px;
 margin:0 auto;
 border:5px solid #fff;
 overflow:hidden;
 -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
 -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
 box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
}

#container ul{
 list-style:none;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
#page{

}
</style>

<script src=".../jquery.shutter.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

 var container = $('#container'),
  li = container.find('li');

 // Using the tzShutter plugin. We are giving the path
 // to he shutter.png image in the plugin folder and two
 // callback functions.

 container.tzShutter({
  imgSrc: 'assets/jquery.shutter/shutter.png',
  closeCallback: function(){

   // Cycling the visibility of the li items to
   // create a simple slideshow.

   li.filter(':visible:first').hide();
   
   if(li.filter(':visible').length == 0){
    li.show();
   }
   
   // Scheduling a shutter open in 0.1 seconds:
   setTimeout(function(){container.trigger('shutterOpen')},100);
  },
  loadCompleteCallback:function(){
   setInterval(function(){
    container.trigger('shutterClose');
   },4000);
   
   container.trigger('shutterClose');
  }
 });
 
});
    </script>

Fading and Spinning Icons with CSS3 and jQuery

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 Posted by Unknown

The post detailed how you could leverage CSS3's transformations and opacity properties, as well as the magical MooTools JavaScript framework, to create spinning, fading, animated icons. Due to popular request, I've duplicated the effect with another popular JavaScript toolkit: jQuery.

The HTML


<div style="padding:20px 0;position:relative;">
<div id="followIcons">
<a style="top: 0.653561px; left: 132.318px; z-index: 1022; opacity: 0.6; -moz-transform: rotate(36.7188deg);" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TemplateForYourBlog" rel="nofollow" id="iconRSS">RSS Feed</a>
<a style="top: 38.5985px; left: 200.085px; z-index: 1023; opacity: 0.6; -moz-transform: rotate(74.7156deg);" href="http://twitter.com/bambangwi" rel="nofollow" id="iconTwitter">@Bambang Wicaksono Twitter</a>
<a style="top: 2.87457px; left: 131.284px; z-index: 1012; opacity: 0.6; -moz-transform: rotate(191.92deg);" href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/bambangwi" rel="nofollow" id="iconstumbleupon">@Bambang Wicaksono Stumbleupon</a>
<a style="top: 29.391px; left: 245.218px; z-index: 1000; opacity: 0.6; -moz-transform: rotate(295.304deg);" href="http://www.delicious.com/bambang_wicaksono" rel="nofollow" id="iconDelicious">Bambang Wicaksono de.licio.us</a>
<a style="top: 33.1283px; left: 248.676px; z-index: 1024; opacity: 0.6; -moz-transform: rotate(78.0497deg);" href="http://facebook.com/masbambangwicaksono" rel="nofollow" id="iconFacebook">Bambang Wicaksono Facebook</a>
<a style="top: 15.11px; left: 93.4135px; z-index: 1017; opacity: 0.6; -moz-transform: rotate(346.566deg);" href="http://www.reddit.com/bambangwi" rel="nofollow" id="iconreddit">Bambang Wicaksono Reddit</a>
<a style="top: 28.4499px; left: 47.2333px; z-index: 1020; opacity: 0.6; -moz-transform: rotate(65.6721deg);" href="http://www.digg.com/users/bambangwi" id="icondigg">Bambang Wicaksono Digg</a>
<a style="top: 13.7949px; left: 36.0966px; z-index: 1021; opacity: 0.6; -moz-transform: rotate(210.147deg);" href="mailto:bambang_wicaksono@yahoo.com" id="iconMail">Bambang Wicaksono Email</a>
<a style="top: 24.9191px; left: 393.534px; z-index: 1019; opacity: 0.6; -moz-transform: rotate(264.417deg);" href="http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2FTemplateForYourBlog" rel="nofollow" id="iconfavorite">Bambang Wicaksono Feed</a>
</div>
</div>

The links are as standard as they come. These will be turned into dynamic icons.

The CSS

The first part of the process is using standard CSS to move the text off screen and instead use the icons as background images for the link:


<style type="text/css">
#followIcons a{ 
display:inline-block;
width:48px;
height:48px;
text-indent:-3000px;
background-position:0 0;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
z-index:2000;
overflow:hidden;
position:absolute;
-webkit-transition-duration: 0.8s;
-moz-transition-duration: 0.8s;
-o-transition-duration: 0.8s;
transition-duration: 0.8s;
-webkit-transition-property: -webkit-transform;
-moz-transition-property: -moz-transform;
-o-transition-property: -o-transform;
transition-property: transform;

The transition duration will be 0.8 seconds and transition property will be a basic transform. You can change the transform duration to any duration you'd like. Too fast or too slow will ruin the effect.

The jQuery JavaScript

The first part is randomly positioning each node/icon within the container. It's important to know the container's width and height, then subtract the icon width and height from that to know the true area you can fit the icon into. Nothing would be more lame than a piece of the icon hidden. The next step of the process is adding mouseenter and mouseleave events to make the images rotate and fade in during each respective event.


<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

 <script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {

 // "Globals" - Will make things compress mo-betta
 var $random = function(x) { return Math.random() * x; };
 var availableWidth = 400, availableHeight = 40;
 
 // Get the proper CSS prefix
 if(jQuery.browser.webkit) {
  cssPrefix = "webkit";
 }
 else if(jQuery.browser.mozilla) {
  cssPrefix = "moz";
 }
 else if(jQuery.browser.opera) {
  cssPrefix = "o";
 }

 // Apply opacity
 var zIndex = 1000;
 
 // Randomize each link
 jQuery.each(jQuery("#followIcons a"),function(index) {
  var startDeg = $random(360);
  var element = jQuery(this);
  var resetPlace = function() {
   element.fadeTo(250,0.6).css("-" + cssPrefix + "-transform","rotate(" + startDeg + "deg)");
  };
  element.attr("style","top:" + $random(availableHeight) + "px; left:" + $random(availableWidth) + "px; z-index:" + zIndex).hover(function() {
   element.fadeTo(250,1).css("zIndex",++zIndex).css("-" + cssPrefix + "-transform","rotate(0deg)");
  },resetPlace);
  resetPlace();
 });
});
 </script>

When the mouseenter event occurs, the rotation is animated to 0, no rotation. When the mouse leaves the element, the element animates to its initial random rotation. You'll also note that I've used opacity to add to the subtle effect.
