A Blinking Gallery


video

No reasonable person would want a blinking thumbnail gallery. On the other hand, this example provides a great exercise in CSS positioning with jQuery.

The thumbnail images are contained within an unordered list, and then re-positioned by means of the script. The images in the example are placeholders in the form of GIF images of numbers.

A setInterval fires off a function that randomly transposes the images one at a time. It sort of looks as if images are being added, but the existing images are simply being shifted around.

All of the code is commented--JavaScript and CSS/HTML. Here's a zip containing everything.
