Have you seen the sliding effect on BBC website, where when the next and previous arrows are moused over, it shows an image icon of the coming slide? Is this a jQuery plugin? If so, which plugin is this and can I customize it to my needs?
I am looking to build a carousel, but I am not sure if this type of sliding effect is achievable with minimum effort. Is this possible without a plugin, and how much effort would it take? Should I go with a plugin (link please) or create my own (need ideas)?
The BBC use a custom JavaScript Library -> http://www.bbc.co.uk/glow/
An alternative is the Nivo Slider -> http://nivo.dev7studios.com/
IMO there is no need to creating something when its already been written, so a plugin is the best way to go
