My share of image rotation script
Everybody and their brothers are coming up with free JS gallery scroll (rotation) scripts. More than a year ago, I came up with a basic image scrolling script for CBL website. UH NSMIT website was nice enough to took it and implemented it on their website too. Back then, there was no decent JS-only image scrolling script so mine was concocted with Mootols revision 83. Fast forward to today, I saw this rotation script on UH Student Handbook website. I thought: "Wow, that's neat". It turns out that the landscape for image rotation script has changed. Now, you can find many more JS scripts that make use of Mootools simplicity to do things like Fluid Anchors, Smooth Gallery.
What strikes me even more is the quality of Jon's code for his Smooth Gallery. The code was written in nice JSON and Javascript OO. I actually picked up quite a few tips and tricks from his code. It's a definitely good code if you want to take a look.
So what is left for me? I actually have just launched the new website of the lab which uses a newer version of my image rotation script. My script provides the ability to have a list of activators for the images so users can move quickly between images. I add tootips option to the link so users have a bit of clue what they are looking for. I am planning on incorporate this extra feature into Jon's script and ask him to release it along with his bundle.
