YoxView – A Free jQuery Image Viewer Plugin

Posted · Category: Gallery, MIT License

YoxView is a free image viewer for websites. It’s written in javascript using jQuery and is available as a jQuery plugin. YoxView is inspired by Lokesh Dhakar’s Lightbox. Like it, YoxView displays images above the website’s content, as a separate layer.

Users always see the whole image, even on small screen resolutions or resized windows. Images smaller than the browser’s window are displayed at their original size, larger images are resized to fit. Images are loaded in the background, to improve the viewer’s performance and shorten wait times for users. Forward caching continues while viewing images.
