Since the thumbnail spotlight effect i wrote a tutorial about was and still is amazingly popular i decided to make another cool thumbnail effect. This time with zoom and sliding caption.

How to use it? Just hover over the images and you will see the effect.

Example Thumbnail Effect With Zoom And Sliding Captions, Klik Here,,

CSS::

.thumbnailWrapper { width:600px; margin:0px auto; } /* not important */

.thumbnailWrapper ul {
list-style-type: none; /* remove the default style for list items (the circles) */
margin:0px; /* remove default margin */
padding:0px; /* remove default padding */
}
.thumbnailWrapper ul li {
float:left; /* important: left float */
position:relative; /* so we can use top and left positioning */
overflow:hidden; /* hide the content outside the boundaries (ZOOM) */
}
.thumbnailWrapper ul li a img {
width:200px; /* not important, the pics we use here are too big */
position:relative; /* so we can use top and left positioning */
border:none; /* remove the default blue border */
}
.caption{
position:absolute; /* needed for positioning */
bottom:0px; /* bottom of the list item (container) */
left:0px; /* start from left of the list item (container) */
width:100%; /* stretch to the whole width of container */
display:none; /* hide by default */
/* styling bellow */
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
color:white;
}
.caption .captionInside{
/* just styling */
padding:10px;
margin:0px;
}
.caption p{
text-align:center;
font-size:110%;
}
.clear { clear:both; } /* to clear the float after the last item */

SCRIPT::

<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(window).load(function(){
//set and get some variables
var thumbnail = {
imgIncrease : 100, /* the image increase in pixels (for zoom) */
effectDuration : 400, /* the duration of the effect (zoom and caption) */
/*
get the width and height of the images. Going to use those
for 2 things:
make the list items same size
get the images back to normal after the zoom
*/
imgWidth : $('.thumbnailWrapper ul li').find('img').width(),
imgHeight : $('.thumbnailWrapper ul li').find('img').height()
};

//make the list items same size as the images
$('.thumbnailWrapper ul li').css({
'width' : thumbnail.imgWidth,
'height' : thumbnail.imgHeight
});

//when mouse over the list item...
$('.thumbnailWrapper ul li').hover(function(){

$(this).find('img').stop().animate({

/* increase the image width for the zoom effect*/
width: parseInt(thumbnail.imgWidth) + thumbnail.imgIncrease,
/* we need to change the left and top position in order to
have the zoom effect, so we are moving them to a negative
position of the half of the imgIncrease */
left: thumbnail.imgIncrease/2*(-1),
top: thumbnail.imgIncrease/2*(-1)

},{

"duration": thumbnail.effectDuration,
"queue": false
});

//show the caption using slideDown event
$(this).find('.caption:not(:animated)').slideDown(thumbnail.effectDuration);

//when mouse leave...
}, function(){

//find the image and animate it...
$(this).find('img').animate({

/* get it back to original size (zoom out) */
width: thumbnail.imgWidth,
/* get left and top positions back to normal */
left: 0,
top: 0

}, thumbnail.effectDuration);

//hide the caption using slideUp event
$(this).find('.caption').slideUp(thumbnail.effectDuration);

});
});
</script>
