The control currently clears all class values of selected on the document, so if anything other styling or script in the document relies on class=selected this will remove it when selecting an image.

Our fix:
In _selectImg() instead of selecting classes to remove using $('.selected') we use the image members
this.images.removeClass(this.options.selectClass);

I really appreciate this gallery! It's simple to use and has some very nice basic features.

I would like to request that it be modified so that in the "thumbnails" div that contains all the images, they could be the thumbnail sized images (whatever size was appropriate for the site, not just resized by the browser, but natively that small size), and then clicking on the thumbnail image would bring to the "displayImage" div the larger sized image.

ie: clicking on the image named "photo1Thumb.jpg" in the "thumbnails" div would show "photo1Large.jpg"

The reason for this request is primarily to reduce load time of a page that has many gallery images. Loading thumbs is faster than loading all the full-sized images.

Maybe it's not that big of a benefit, but I thought I'd request it anyway.

Thanks.

Add option to pull photo captions from thumbnail HTML (maybe "title" attribute?) and display somewhere in document. Need to add two more global options: showCaptions (default false) and captionTarget (default "") to show whether to pull captions and where to display them. Photo descriptions should fade in and out with the target photo.

Need to clear their fx queue inside stopAnimation when the display image queue gets cleared.

First off, great little plugin! I'm using inside a tab system, so I'd love an easy way to destroy and recreate the plugin on demand to rebind a dynamic source when required.

At the moment, it's a little fiddly - although, any help much appreciated!

Create "Working Demos" section in README and link to sites that currently use the plugin to further demonstrate its use. Encourage users to send in links to their pages so they can be added to the demo list.

Current sites that use simple-gallery.js:

• http://morocco.cuewb.org/
• http://cdg.com.py/fotos.php

Ideas for possible times to trigger events so the user can add more functionality:

• widget's creation
• new image load
• source image clicked
• animation stopped
• animation resumed

_create() should do stuff that should only happen once, when the gallery widget is created (such as declaring variables). _init() will fire every time the gallery is reinitialized - reset the animation, source images, target CSS, and get the animation started there. Write the _init() function so that subsequent instantiations on the same target display image will restart the gallery with the new settings.
