shiftzoom.js

It also allows to build interactive applications through various user commands.

It uses unobtrusive JavaScript to keep the code clean from any useless markup.

It works in all the major browsers - Mozilla Firefox 1.5+, Opera 9+, Chrome, Safari and IE 6+. Works also on older browsers supporting images/ createElement/ getElementById, else it'll degrade and visitors won't notice a thing.

Features:

• Fast and easy to implement. Just add onload="shiftzoom.add(this);" to the image.
• Works even well with 10 Megapixel images (use lowres argument to speed up zooming).
• Makes large images completely visibly through small page-areas.
• Supports an extensive mouse and keyboard control for pan and zoom.
• Supports overlayed and autoscaled icons and timed ken-burns-animations.
• Allows to build interactive applications (e.g. play|stop|construct|destruct). You can build interactive floorplans, complex presentations, image based magazine readers, maps with increased functionality and more.
• Works and looks really well. Doesn't require additional resources.

What is new in this release:

• Added support for zooming in by double click.
• Reworked middle/right mouse button and mouse wheel behavior.
• Extended World example with navi gadgets.

Requirements:

• JavaScript enabled on client side
