Picbox is a lightweight (around 5KB) javascript image viewer based on the Slimbox by Christophe Beyls, and available using either the Mootools or jQuery frameworks. It features automatic resizing and zooming of large images, allowing them to fit in the browser or be viewed at full size.

Images automatically resize to fit the screen when opened. They can then be zoomed in/out using the scroll wheel and moved around on screen using the mouse. Double clicking resets the image or views it full size.

This image viewer plugin can be customised by editing the autoload code in picbox.js. Example loading code for loading all image links or picasaweb/flickr galleries are in the extras/ folder (all copied from the Slimbox release).

Picbox v1.x and v2.x have been tested with Mootools v1.2.3+ and jQuery 1.3+ respectively. This plugin compatible with Firefox 2.0+, Internet Explorer 6+, Opera 9+, Safari 4+, and Google Chrome. Firefox 3.5 and newer webkit browsers also have nice shadows around the images.

Requirements: jQuery framework, MooTools framework
