Jet Zoom is the non-intrusive alternative to Cloud Zoom, a similar plugin that shows zoom boxes right next to the thumbnail photo.
Jet Zoom works the same way, but instead of creating a zoom box outside the thumbnail image, the zoom box is displayed on top of the original photo.
As the user moves his mouse around the photo container, the zoom box is moved along with it.
You can use this plugin whenever you're working with really crowded pages and don't want to over-clutter the user's view with even more content.
As with Cloud Zoom, developers can control the zoom box settings with Jet Zoom as well, adjusting its size, aspect ratio, zoom level, background overlay color, border, and so on.
Support is also included for integrating Jet Zoom with modal windowing tools, so whenever the user wants to take a better look at the original, high-resolution photo he can simply click the image and open it inside a lightbox.
A sample is included with the plugin's trial download package.
If you're looking for a zooming tool that uses mouse wheel scrolling and inline zoom controls, take a look at Star Zoom.
