JBGALLERY 3.0 BETA

$Revision: 54 $

WHAT'S NEW

NEW fullscreen:false OPTION

jbgallery is a UI widget webpage written in javascript on top of the jQuery library.
Its function is to show a single big image, multiple images, multiple galleries, slideshows, as a site's background, in a "dialog" mode or as a common pop-up.
jbgallery has two basic menus: the first one has music player buttons while the other one links directly to single images.
I added a "complex" menu on the 2.0 version, which in inspired by the flickr slider-equipped slideshow that allows to scroll the thumbnail previews.
jbgallery provides a pubblic API to remote control the component, so it would be easier to bind also with a more complex menu.

Examples:

obj.left();
obj.right();
obj.go(3);
obj.current();
obj.play(4000);
obj.stop();
obj.push(single);//single = 'http://url'
obj.push(aobj);//aobj is array of object
obj.unshift(obj);//obj is a single object
obj.unshift(arr);//arr is an array of string (url)
obj.shift();
obj.pop();
obj.empty();
obj.destroy();
