Conclusion

Summary

In this chapter, we have looked into page elements that change over time, either on their own or in response to user intervention. These shufflers and rotators can really set a modern web presence apart from traditionally designed sites. We have covered presenting an XML feed of information on a page as well as rotating items in and out of view on a time delay. Along with displaying a set of images in a navigable carousel-style gallery, we have also discussed enlarging an image for a closer view with a smooth animation and presenting user-interface controls in an unobtrusive way.

These techniques can be combined in many ways to breathe life into otherwise stodgy pages. Animations and effects that would be otherwise tedious to achieve can be effortlessly realized thanks to the power of jQuery.
