Open Source Resources for Web Application Developers

Sequence is the jQuery slider plugin with infinite style. It provides the complete functionality for a website slider without forcing you to use a set theme. In fact, Sequence has no in-built theme, leaving you complete creative control to build a unique slider using only CSS3.

It supports all modern browsers, and gracefully degrades in older browsers. And it supports touch devices and swiping too. You can check out the Modern Slide In, Sliding Horizontal Parallax and Apple Style demo.

Zoomooz.js is an easy-to-use jQuery plugin for making any web page element zoom. You can easily add the zoom effect by adding the class “zoomTarget” on any HTML elements. The zoom can be reset by clicking the body. It has been tested on Internet Explorer 9, Safari 3+, Firefox 3.6+, Opera and Chrome.

However, it does not work with older version of IE. And it requires a separate css file. Transforming elements with text content in Opera is buggy as well.

It supports Keyboard navigation and fully customizable via CSS. There are total 7 different transition effects for you to choose from. However, please note that Glisse.js uses a lot of new CSS3 features like keyframes. It’s definitely not a good idea to uses it on a general public websites.
