Rcarousel: A Continuous jQuery UI Carousel

55m35 Rcarousel: A Continuous jQuery UI Carousel

Before you toss this off as just another slider review, check out this innovative content slider and carousel made with jQuery, called the rcarousel.

Created by front-end developer Wojciech rrh Ryrych, this continuous carousel is basically a jQuery UI widget which latest version (v1.1) was just released recently. Its inherent capabilities from its predecessor include custom events and a simple API.

Rcarousel supports HTML content: just place anything inside a DIV container, install the widget, and that’s it. It is highly customizable and allows the user to navigate through the content with bullets or set the scrolling to auto mode without navigation.

What sets this carousel from the others is that it has the multi carousel feature!

Check out the demo. Cool, isn’t it?

You can customize the rcarousel’s appearance by indicating the number of visible elements and a step (number of elements to scroll by). Another nice feature is loading elements on demand at runtime via API. With little effort you can fetch XML, JSON, parse them and then add elements with ‘append’ method.

Its other features are:
• Many options to choose from
• Simple to use
• Supports IMG images with links
• Auto mode
• Custom pagination

Rcarousel supports many browsers and has been tested successfully in the following:
• Internet Explorer 7+
• Firefox 3.0+
• Chrome
• Opera 10.10+
• Safari 4.0.5+

Click on the following links to download the rcarousel or its source code, and if needed, to report bugs.

If you enjoyed this carousel, you may also want to consider using Ryrych’s jQuery UI mediabox, called
rlightbox2 .
