Apple Cover-flow effect using jQuery or other library?
JavascriptJqueryClient Side-ScriptingJavascript Problem Overview
Does anyone know how to achieve the cover-flow effect using JavaScript to scroll through a bunch of images. I'm not talking about the 3D rotating itunes cover-art, but the effect that happens when you hit the space bar in a folder of documents, allowing you to preview them in a lightbox fashion.

I tried using the the Jack's Asylum cover flow but it wouldn't let me easily remove and re-add an entire coverflow. I eventually found http://finnrudolph.de/ImageFlow and not only is it more reliable, it's easier to hook into, uses less markup, and doesn't jitter when flipping through images. It's by far the best I've found, and I've tried several on this page.

Here's a sample. http://interface.eyecon.ro/demos/carousel.html
I looked around for a Jquery image carousel a few months ago and didn't find a good one so I gave up. This one was the best I could find.

Looks like a classic lightbox plugin is needed. This is my favorite jQuery lightbox plugin: http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/. It's easy to customize, etc.
