The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

Sliding Door Plugin

Submitted by SurrealDreams on March 10, 2010 - 12:21am

This plugin will take a selected image or set of images and replace it with a container with two halves which slide open and turn translucent on mouseover. The open halves reveal the alt tag text of the original image. Any links on the image are preserved along with their classes, and a configurable text label is added to the alt text. You can configure the time to open the "doors," close them, the opacity, the text indicating there's a link, and how far open the doors go (as a percentage).

There is one known bug, which is that the original link is not removed and makes the entire structure a clickable link.

The image needs to have a set size or some browsers won't be able to figure out the size. Also, please ensure that your image is not scaled in HTML - the script isn't able to scale back the halves to match the original so it will look strange.
