I would love to see an easy-to-use Windows & Mac app that enables you to create beautiful, professional, responsive jQuery Photo and Video Gallery from CC.

Guys at coffeecup are awesometacular.

I'm in. I've been building my own with Jquery and almost grabbed Wow slider but am holding out for CC.:cool:
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

This is a site I built for my work.(RSD)

I too would love to see this done by CC, something that will rival Wow Slider, Visual Light Box, Visual Slide Show, Video Slideshow and HTML Video all in one! I really hate that most of those programs listed here are almost the same thing and could have been combined if the creators weren't so money hungry to make you purchase them separately. Would love to have this all in one program so I don't have to try remembering which is which! hahaha so many file extensions to remember and they are so closely marked lol.

Thumbs up, + 100 from me!

Have a look at FancyBox (http://fancybox.net/).

See a simple, non-modal, pop-up text-box application of FancyBox at work by clicking the "Read More" links within the Events Calendar section of this site: http://www.gopgroton.com/ (I built this site on a CC fluid layout, BTW.) More complex use would be photo or video galleries.

Note that FancyBox supports responsive design. Watch what happens when you re-size the browser window.

FancyBox is based on a particular version of jquery (http://jquery.com/). As such, it can be tricky to use on a site that already has jquery loaded for some other purpose. But there's a workaround.

I got interested in FancyBox for the reason that Jo Ann cites: Learn one thing, use it in many ways.

FancyBox (or something like it) would benefit from the sort of polishing, use-testing by an interested community, comprehensive use-case examples and careful documentation that CoffeeCup could bring to the party.

Yes, I looked just like that in 1962.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
