AJAX-ZOOM is a powerful image zoom & pan gallery plugin based on jQuery (JavaScript) and PHP. It is a completely packaged solution to present high resolution images on the web. With over 250 options AJAX-ZOOM is very flexible and can be seamlessly integrated into any website - branding free! AJAX-ZOOM also doesn't require any browser plugins such as Flash, Java or Silverlight. It's all cross-browser javascript and PHP.

Simple Image Panner lets you partially clip and confine large images on your site to a smaller container to save space, with the hidden portion accessible by dragging -or panning- inside the image. The optional zoom feature lets the user zoom in and out of the image at the same time. This script is great for embedding large images on your page that users may also want to zoom in on to get a closer look.

This plugin was created to support web developers with nice zoom feature that is present on modern web-sites.

It was verified in all modern browsers:
- IE7
- IE8
- Chrome 3.0.17
- Apple Safari 4.0.2
- FireFox 3.5
- FireFox 3.0.14 (Linux)
- Opera 9.64 (Linux)
- Opera 10.0 (Linux)

That doesn't mean that it will not work in other browsers. Just follow the example page and check the browser that you are interested in:

A tiny plugin to pan big images.
Create e DIV with an unique ID, place an image inside:
<div id="zoom01">
<img src="leaf_s.jpg" />
</div>
initialize like that:
$(function() {
$("#zoom01").miniZoomPan({
sW: 200,
sH: 250,
lW: 370,
lH: 462
})
});

As you can see you MUST enter both dimensions: small and large.
The small image MUST contains "_s.jpg" as the final part of the file name, and "_l.jpg" for the final part of the large one.
When hovered, the image inside the DIV will alter its SRC and will load another image; the image should be bigger and you will be able to pan (bigger image will move in relation to mouse position).
A tiny plugin useful for an online store catalogue, where for example, you can zoom and pan the image of a t-shirt without using modal windows.
