I made an earlier one as well that has a LOT of BUGS in it… but it’s interesting because it rotates the thumbnails BEHIND the frame as well…

But if you’re interested, it’s here:

It’s REALLY simple to do this sort of thing… The javascript code required to do so is very short.

Are you kidding me? You did this without knowing/playing around with Javascript?!
Sheesh Shannon!

Looks great, the rotating thumbs menu is amazing. It did take a little for the enlarged image to appear but apart from that I’m liking it a lot.

Maybe also consider stopping or slowing down the rotation when you rollover the thumbs.

Andrew, yes, I agree, but it’s for a gallery with about a dozen photos.

It’s nice, and certainly easy to navigate. My concern with the design, unless I missed something, is that it will become somewhat unwieldy with a larger library of images. As the images rotate, there doesn’t seem to be anyway to stop or rewind the rotation, nor access to any sort of index.

Maybe the default view could have all th images in thumbnail form in the frame, instead of just a welcome image. And you could re-open the thumbnails by clicking anywhere in the background, which currently takes you back to the welcome image.

i really like how the pictures rotate and you can click and the enlarge in the center.. makes it a lot more interesting than just clicking on the *next* button to a gallery!
