Kwicks for jQuery

Kwicks for jQuery is a highly customizable and versatile widget that enables beautiful transition effects between list items. Kwicks transforms lists and other elements into stylish accordion-like sliding boxes.

Setting up this example is easy:

Add the markup

<ul class="kwicks">
	<li id="kwick1"></li>  
	<li id="kwick2"></li>  
	<li id="kwick3"></li>  
	<li id="kwick4"></li>  
</ul>

Add the CSS

.kwicks li{
	float: left;
	width: 125px;
	height: 100px;
	margin-right: 5px;
}
#kwick1 { 
	background-color: #53b388;
	background-image: url('images/meet.gif');
}
#kwick2 {
	background-color: #5a69a9;
	background-image: url('images/kwicks.gif');
}
#kwick3 {
	background-color: #c26468;
	background-image: url('images/for.gif');
}
#kwick4 { 
	background-color: #bf7cc7;
	background-image: url('images/jquery.gif');
	margin-right: none;
}

Add the jQuery

$().ready(function() {
	$('.kwicks').kwicks({
		max : 205,
		spacing : 5
	});
});

This is a basic example of what you can do with Kwicks. With the amount of control this plugin provides over its properties, many configurations are possible. It can even go vertical!
