Photosets in10
23 05 2007I was trying my hand at the flickr apis and was lucky enough to make Jflickr work to my advantage. I was able to get the photos and wanted a simple way to elegantly display photos and also allow for a slideshow. Basically, a really simple slideshow tool which could also present photos in a neat way. I found LightBox.
Built on top of script.aculo.us and prototype, LightBox by Lokesh Dhakar is a cinch to use. With lightbox you get a really easy to use photo presentation tool plus a slideshow like interface. Check out this example.
1. download the lightbox library
2. include the required files in your html page.
3. write image urls in an anchor tag and you are done !!
You get a wonderful looking photo presentation that would have probably taken a year to build.
Estimated time : 2mins from download to deployment.
