This is a CSS3 variant of the Apple's CoverFlow design pattern
$('#container').coverscroll();OR
$('#container').coverscroll({items:'img'});Where value of "items" option is a jQuery selector for descendent elements of the container element (like in: $('#container').find('img');). This is only necessary in case when item elements are other than img element (for example if you want to use div-s as CoverScroll items).
var opt = { 'minfactor':20, // how much is the next item smaller than previous in pixels 'distribution':1.5, // how apart are the items (items become separated when this value is below 1) 'scalethreshold':0, // after how many items to start scaling 'staticbelowthreshold':false, // if true when number of items is below "scalethreshold" - don't animate 'titleclass':'itemTitle', // class name of the element containing the item title 'selectedclass':'selectedItem', // class name of the selected item 'scrollactive':true, // scroll functionality switch 'step':{ // compressed items on the side are steps 'limit':4, // how many steps should be shown on each side 'width':8, // how wide is the visible section of the step in pixels 'scale':true // scale down steps }, 'bendamount':2, // amount of "bending" of the CoverScroll (values 0.1 to 1 bend down, -0.1 to -1 bend up, 2 is straight (no bending), 1.5 sligtly bends down) 'movecallback':function(item){} // callback function triggered after click on an item - parameter is the item's jQuery object };
$('#container').coverscroll('next');
$('#container').coverscroll('prev');
$('#container').coverscroll();
$('#container').coverscroll({ items:'.item', minfactor:10, scalethreshold:5, staticbelowthreshold:true, distribution:1, bendamount:1.5, movecallback:getStatus });
