NETTUTS presents a very nice tutorial on "Creating A MooTools Photo Gallery".

All the steps of creating this MooTools gallery is very well described and the source code is ready to download for instant use.

P.S. It is not dynamic & all the thumbnails are loaded when the gallery loads. For this reason it may be suitable for galleries with <30-40 images.



Requirements: MooTools 1.2+

Compatibility: All Major Browsers

FLIR (Facelift Image Replacement) is an image replacement script that enables you to use any font in your websites.

It is similar to sIFR but uses JavaScript + PHP rather than Flash.





Fonts to be used are pre-uploaded and a PHP script creates the image using these fonts. Later on the image is inserted via JavaScript.

PHP GD library can not render some fonts properly. For this reason FancyFonts plugin (optional & requires ImageMagick) is also integrated to FLIR and it can handle almost any font.

Requirements: PHP 4+, GD Library

Compatibility: All Major Browsers
