    Dynamic Galleries with DOM and CSS - Other options


    (Page 8 of 8 )

    The options we have with this script are endless, we could add more features and ideas as we get along, but sometimes keeping it simple and straight to the point gives the visitor a much better experience than confusing her with features. 

    However, possible enhancements include:

    • Display the information of how many images are there in total and where we are in the sequence. We’ll need to send the index of the clicked thumbnail onclick and read the total number of images via piclinks.length.

    • Offer links to the first and last image.

    • Display the image data by reading its dimensions after the image was loaded.

     

    Whatever we want to do, let’s make sure we check if it is possible first, and then display it, rather than making assumptions about what the visitor can or cannot do or have.
