What is this template?

#1 Post by spt60 » Mon May 12, 2008 1:51 pm

Hi, I notice a lot of websites nowadays use this screenshots/images loading template like this one: http://www.regdefrag.com/screenshots (click on any screenshot to see the how the image loads). I don't think it's Flash because I can right click on the image and save it.

Same template concept is used in Firefox Add-ons site. Here's an example: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3780 (click on the screenshots)

So what is this popular template? Is it free and where can I get it?

p.s: Actually I think the whole site from the example above also use a very popular nice-looking template. I'm looking for this too.

Thanks :)

If you click <view source> in your browser you can see the HTML used in the page. It looks to me that the images called up are just that (GIFS). It also looks like there is some Java script involved in how they are displayed. If you like the way the page looks, examine the HTML and see if you can come up with something similar.

I'm sure some one who knoes HTML better that me can correct me if I am wrong.

Looking at the source, it looks like it's something from the jQuery Javascript library called LightBox:

JQuery has lots of other neat Javascript stuff as well apparently:
