There is a main content area (panels, if you will), which slide from left to right each with different unique content. There is generally a set number of panels, but the code is written in such a way that adding or removing panels isn’t a huge pain. There are links which act as navigation to quickly jump to any particular panel. These links can be anything (text hyperlink, thumbnail, etc) and link to a unique hash value URL (each panel has a unique URL if need be). Coda Slider provides all of this out of the box.

Slider Gallery with jQuery

This tutorial is about creating a creative gallery with a slider for the thumbnails. The idea is to have an expanding thumbnails area which opens once an album is chosen. The thumbnails will scroll to the end and move back to the first image. The user can scroll through the thumbnails by using the slider controls. When a thumbnail is clicked, it moves to the center and the full image preview opens. Navigating though the images will make them slide in and out from the sides, moving the underlying thumbnails container. When the preview is closed, the full image will fade back to the thumbnail.
