New version of the Thumbnail Scroller Studio has been released. This one is fairly functional, still many more improvements to come in the near future. Give it a whirl, leave some feedback.

December 28, 2007

Release of the Thumbnail Scroller Creator Application Demo. This is just a taste of the application, little more work and I will be offering it for sale.

Future updates will be made only for the application version of the code. This version contains a couple new things:

  • No code change needed for Vertical scrollers, they work same as the Horizontal ones now.
  • Compressed javascript for smaller file size and faster load times.
  • No code change needed for multiple scrollers on a page. Each thumbnail scroller is assigned a random name and id.
  • More information coming this weekend about the application!!!

Couple new scroller features for the people!
New file for this scroller type: DOWNLOAD SMOOTH SCROLLER CODE

I will merge the two scrollers in the near future.
View Horizontal Smooth Scroll Example
View Vertical Smooth Scroll Example

multi-smooth-thumbscroller.js
  • Multiple size thumbnail support
  • Smooth scrolling on mouseover of image.
  • Set scroll speed and scroll amount for image scroller.

    • I also put up a link to my slot machine I started on -so many things I wanna do, need more hours in the day. If feedback is good I will consider spending more time on it. I did it more to show the extensibility of the javascript html thumbnail scroller.

    All images will now be cached via using a javascript object!!! This also means that you can place the javascript anywhere on the page. HOWEVER, you must either place the script below your scroller DIV's, OR, use the header-script-index.html example code to delay the code execution untill after page load. I will implement this when using the "Create a Scroller" at a later time.
    Update the example .zip file to include the header loading code.

    Added the ability to set the number of images to scroll instead of one at a time.
    Fixed (Again!) the offset when scrolling to the end of the image strip.
    Re-arranged some of the scroller pages for SEO purposes.
    Created an example ZIP file containing an image scroller example and the files needed.

    Big stuff comming this month! Just added a forum for comments and suggestions and such. Barebones styles will be updated at later date, working on functional aspect at this point. It's amount of use will determine my efforts, so post up if ya want it!

    Another goodie I have been working on is the "flyout" for the thumbnail scroller. This is so when visitor mouses over an image in the scroller it briefly expands to a bit bigger image while the mouse is hovering over it. The scroller flyout code is done, I just need to get it posted and added to the "Create a Scroller" page for public use.

    Third addition this month will be a javascript slot machine that uses the scroller code. Pretty fun I think and you will be able to modify different aspects of the code. Code is a work in progress and I should have a test run of it ready in a week or two, so check back.

    Added the ability to create a Vertical JavaScript / HTML Thumbnail Image Scroller. Updated some of the site and examples.

    March 03, 2007

    Update some of the webpages, getting prepared to release a new version of the javascript thumb image scroller with horizontal and auto scroll feature.

    Febuary 19, 2007

    Fixed a bug with the scroll to end of thumbnails that was not factoring in the thumbnail padding.

    Febuary 18, 2007

    Updated some of the code example page to show a basic JavaScript Thumbnail Scroller piece of code. This is the same piece of code that is used on the homepage.
