So as i was working on getting the site updated and ready, i was going through some links and just checking out some resources. Finally i stumbled upon, what may be for me the most exciting Jquery plugin in recent memory!!!
What could be so great? well it is this jQuery plugin called the jParallax. I think to really understand its best to answer the age old questions: Who, What, Why, Where, How, When.
Who?
Plugin Name: jParallax Plugin URL: http://webdev.stephband.info/parallax.html Author: http://www.stephband.info/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/stephbandWhat?
So what does this plugin do? i think the best thing is to give the description given by the author:
What does jParallax do?
jParallax turns a selected element into a ‘window’, or viewport, and all its children into absolutely positioned layers that can be seen through the viewport. These layers move in response to the mouse, and, depending on their dimensions (and options for layer initialisation), they move by different amounts, in a parallaxy kind of way.
I guess seeing is believing so i have embedded a demonstration below: [jParallax][jParallax]
