Polaroid Photo Viewer with CSS3 and jQuery

Posted · Category: Gallery, License Free

Marco has created a Polaroid Photo Viewer with CSS3 and jQuery by combining the CSS3 Box Shadow and Rotate properties. When dragging a polaroid around, you’ll see the shadow. When it’s placed down, it’s randomly rotated to the left or the right.

Sadly, CSS3 and HTML5 aren’t the standards yet. Not all modern browsers will be able to show off the full effect. It only works on Apples Safari and Google Chrome as they are the only browsers supporting the Transform and Box-Shadow property of CSS3 via the -webkit- prefix.
