Top 10 CSS image gallery tutorial
Cosmetic Surgery Delhi
There are many tutorials out there on how to create your own image gallery. There are simple ones made from pure CSS, and there are complex ones using css and javascript. By the end of this article you will have the information necessary to start building your own photo gallery. The first tutorial is from cssplay and is one of my favorites around. They have a very elegant and simple image gallery. Your images are separated into different sections (people, plants, animals, etc) and all your images for each section listed nicely underneath. As you hover over each image it expands double it's size so you can take a better look at each image before you view the full version. The interface is very clean and simple to use, I recommend taking a look at this one.
Our next example is from the css library at dynamicdrive . This is a more basic image gallery setup, it just involves thumbnails on the site and you hover over each one the full image is displayed on the right side of the screen. The code for this one is simple and is good for beginners to understand whats happening.
This next one is a remake of the first gallery on this list and again it's from cssplay. The main design is basically the same with the different tabs on top for the sections. As you hover over images they no longer expand for easier viewing, the background of the images is just changed to black. I really liked the expanding images on hover from the first one I wish they would have kept it in the remake. In this new one when you click an image the full size is loaded right into the window, then if you click it again it will take you right back to the list of images. I really like this feature in the new one, it makes it more user friendly not having to redirect to view the full size image. This one is also worth looking at..
If you have a custom image gallery, or know of one that I missed worth mentioning leave a comment and let me know.

This next example is another simple one from dasme.org called ImageGal. This image gallery uses javascript along with CSS, but again is a simple gallery that would be good for beginners looking for something similar to this. To use it you simply click on a thumbnail and the full size image is loaded right onto the screen. Again nothing too complicated but something for you beginners to look at.
Here we have another creative one from cssplay. This one isn't so much an image gallery as it is a mesh of seven different pictures set to interact in a kind of accordion fashion. All the images are stacked on each other horizontally and as you hover over each image it expands from it's current position, I don't see this being useful with a lot of images but it's a creative little one.
Project Seven has one slightly similar to dasme.org but they did theirs right. Your images are displayed vertically along the left side of your screen one on top of another. As you scroll through them and click one, the image along with a description are loaded right there for you. It's minimal but is very well designed.

This next one is from joshuaink.com and has a nice clean layout, when you hover over an image you are shown the description for the image, and when you click an image you are redirected to the full size image with the description on top. It's not too complicated so this would be another good one for beginners to look at and mess around with because there's not a lot of extra code to get confused about.
This image gallery from tkjdesign.com is another one that uses javascript in addition to css to display the images. You have a set of images on the left hand side of your screen and as you hover over them you only get a white border, but as you click each image the page background is dimmed, and the full size image is loaded right onto the screen. To get back to the images simply click the image your viewing and it will be closed. This one is a more advanced gallery and also worth looking at.
Our next tutorial is from webreference.com is another simple one which takes some of your images, displays them as thumbnails and as you hover over each one the full size image is displayed with a little description. It's not the nicest layout but again for you beginners this is another good place to start.
Our last tutorial is another from Project Seven and this is one of the more advanced ones. This one has some similarities to cssplay's image gallery but the way in which it loads each image as you click it is unique. It loads the image then re sizes it from 0% to 100% right in front of you, which isn't really complicated for more advanced users but it gives it a nice fun feeling.
If you have a custom image gallery, or know of one that I missed worth mentioning leave a comment and let me know.
