S Gallery: A Responsive jQuery Gallery Plugin with CSS3 Animations Today I'm going to share with you a gallery plugin I built (yeah, like the world needs another gallery plugin, right?) after having stumbled upon SONY's products gallery while I was browsing their website a while ago. Their products' image gallery is a simple one, but two things grabbed my attention about the gallery: It's made with Flash when it can totally be created with HTML, CSS3 and Javascript. It has a neat feature: exiting the slideshow mode back to the grid view mode, the last image which was active in the slideshow mode "returns back" to its position in the grid view, thus the user knows where they have stopped and what images are left in the gallery that they haven't maybe browsed. This is a neat feature which serves as a brain cue and thus is a nice and positive UX-aware touch. The plugin uses HTML5's FullScreen API, and relies heavily on CSS3 animations transforms, so it will work only in browsers that support these features. Markup And that's all you need in the markup.
