So, im building a website for myself (eu related), and im looking for a gallery that i could easily fit into the page. Im not looking for anything complicated. I thought that the page would show minipictures of all the images in the gallery, then when you click one the picture would hover as big and close when clicked. Actually im looking for HTML based gallery working exactly like the attachements here on EuC. I hope someone understood something :)
I've found the quickest way to do stuff like that - without a 'full' system like vBulletin (as used here at EUC, at EF, and and just a few others ;) ) , drupal, Joomla etc. - is to use one of the really good javascript libraries that are out there. Take a look into: Mootools JQuery YUI ...just to name a few. They are big chunks of javascript that you include into your pages, and they make life very easy when trying to get nice effects in your pages. They also sort out browser differences and other quirks of JS, HTML and CSS, meaning you don't have to get your head around all of those differences and code for them. Just looking at the demo and example pages will give you an idea what they're capable of, then it's just a matter of pieceing it all together.
