jQuery Image Preview – New Plugin “imgPreview”
Posted in Usability, jQuery by Gergely Marton | Tags: interface, JavaScript, jQueryThe ‘imgPreview’ plugin allows your users to preview an image before clicking on it and, out of necessity, will preload the image so when a user does click through to it there is no waiting time!
The image preview shows up in a tooltip-like box appearing alongside the user’s cursor when hovering over a link. The plugin is entirely unobtrusive; it does not require any hooks to target specific links (no non-semantic classes); it will automatically detect the anchors that are linking to images and will only apply the preview effect to them.

Hi cool plugin… do you know how to insert this in 2 wordpress !?

Hi Daniello,
You can easily do that by following the tutorial of the script. You just include in your head.php file the javascripts and you set every image in your posts to have class=”imagePreview” for example.
I will write a tutorial this week about this.
Thanks for the comment!
