I’m trying to build an image gallery (or, ideally, find a jquery plugin) that meets the following specifications:
- Full-size images in #left div, thumbnails wrapped in links in #right div.
- Clicking a #right div thumb causes the corresponding full-size image to slide out from the right side of the #left frame to the center
- After full-size image loads, the thumbnails in #right fade out to reveal the description of each image– possibly stored in the alt tag, more likely stored in a span within the link
- When #right thumbs fade, a button appears that allows the user to click and fade the thumbnails back in.
I don’t know any javascript, so I’m at a loss as to where to begin with something like this. My expertise is front-end, but unfortunately I find myself a de facto developer these days. Such is life.
Your best bet is to use this:

But without any javascript knowledge, you will struggle to get any plugin to exactly what you want…
But!
I have just given a couple of lectures on an introduction to javascript, so you might find the slides useful
Introduction to JavaScript
JavaScript Development
In fact I have literally just started the second years on a javascript module, and my slides will be going online as when I do them, so keep an eye on my slideshare
I hope this helps:)
