I just found awesome collection for JavaScript for from “WebDesignerWall”,
really according to today’s trend JavaScript is must have enhancement
of all web designers. Rather than the flash web designers can create
flashy effects using low KB JavaScript and most useful thing it helps a
lot in SEO if we use JavaScript for animation rather than Flash.
Here is that great list…
Image Zoom and Popup
Lightbox
You’re probably very familiar with Lightbox — a light Javascript used to display overlay images on the current page. The original Lightbox
was released in 2005. Since then, there are many scripts released with
similar features using different approaches and Javascript libraries.
jQuery lightBox Plugin
This is exactly the same as Lightbox JS, but written on top of jQuery library.
Thickbox
Thickbox is a jQuery plugin that is very similar to Lightbox, but
comes with more features. It allows you to display: single image,
multiple images, inline content, iframed content, or content served
through AJAX in a hybrid modal.
Note: Web Designer Wall uses Thickbox to display the gallery images and tutorial demos.
Highslide JS
Highslide JS serves the same purposes as Thickbox, but it has the zoom effect and allows you to drag the overlay window.
FancyBox
FancyBox is a jQuery plugin that is designed to replace the overused
Lightbox. It has similar features, but better transition effects (the
design is Mac-like).
jQZoom
jQZoom allows you to show a magnified image of the thumbnail. This
technique is commonly used in eCommerce websites (check out the Gap site for a sample).

allows you to have simple and smooth (cross-fading…) image galleries,
slideshows, showcases and other cool stuff on your website.
jQuery Galleria
Galleria is a javascript image gallery written in jQuery. It loads
the images one by one from an unordered list and displays thumbnails
when each image is loaded. It will create thumbnails for you if you
choose so, scaled or unscaled, centered and cropped inside a fixed
thumbnail box defined by CSS.

horizontal or vertical order. The items, which can be static HTML
content or loaded with (or without) AJAX, can be scrolled back and
forth (with or without animation).
YUI Carousel Component
The carousel component manages a list of content (HTML LI elements
within a UL) that can be displayed horizontally or vertically. The

content can reference static HTML content or the list items can be
created dynamically on-the-fly (with or without Ajax).
