CSS3 Hover Image Gallery

Author: Dynamic Drive

A sleek image gallery that takes advantage of CSS3 animation, shadows, and the "transform" property to instantly add a smooth hover effect to its images, whereby the image enlarges and moves closer to the user.

The hover effect currently works best in Google Chrome, Safari 4+, and Opera 9.5+. In FF 3.6, the CSS animation is skipped, while in IE, the entire effect isn't visible.

The CSS:

<style type="text/css">

.hovergallery img{
-webkit-transform:scale(0.8); /*Webkit: Scale down image to 0.8x original size*/
-moz-transform:scale(0.8); /*Mozilla scale version*/
-o-transform:scale(0.8); /*Opera scale version*/
-webkit-transition-duration: 0.5s; /*Webkit: Animation duration*/
-moz-transition-duration: 0.5s; /*Mozilla duration version*/
-o-transition-duration: 0.5s; /*Opera duration version*/
opacity: 0.7; /*initial opacity of images*/
margin: 0 10px 5px 0; /*margin between images*/
}

.hovergallery img:hover{
-webkit-transform:scale(1.1); /*Webkit: Scale up image to 1.2x original size*/
-moz-transform:scale(1.1); /*Mozilla scale version*/
-o-transform:scale(1.1); /*Opera scale version*/
box-shadow:0px 0px 30px gray; /*CSS3 shadow: 30px blurred shadow all around image*/
-webkit-box-shadow:0px 0px 30px gray; /*Safari shadow version*/
-moz-box-shadow:0px 0px 30px gray; /*Mozilla shadow version*/
opacity: 1;
}

</style>

The HTML:

<div class="hovergallery">
<img src="coconut.jpg" />
<img src="sunbreakthrough.jpg" />
<img src="desert.jpg" />
<img src="sunflower.jpg" />
<img src="forest.jpg" />
<img src="duck.jpg" />
</div>

Optimise the images and the css files and the loading is much quicker. I like the way the css renders the floating effect on the page.

cool

The border effect looks great in IE9, although the enlarge effect doesn't work (yet), I hope it does when it comes out of BETA mode. Must say though I like IE9 already! although not all the CSS3 attributes are usable yet I hope they do SOON!

Looked at this in Chrome, excellent script DD!! Good job, will defo be using it! Thanks!
