FancyZoom provides a smooth, clean, truly Mac-like effect, almost like it is a function of Safari itself.
It can even group images together in a gallery.
Here are some key features of "FancyZoom":
· Focused on the smoothest, most polished zooming animation possible
· Automatically scales images from any image link, with no HTML changes
· Preloads full-size images in the background on link mouseover
· No resource-heavy Javascript libraries — 100% coded from scratch to zoom
· Draws a nice drop shadow under the full-size image to offset it from the page
· Uses Safari 3's "box-shadow" feature to draw the drop shadow natively, no images required
· Requires only two new lines of code in your HTML
· Tested and works with Safari, Firefox, IE7, and IE6. (Looks better in modern browsers.)
Requirements:
· JavaScript enabled on client side
