This jQuery plugin transforms a set of images into a Mac-like Dock menu, horizontal or vertical, with icons that expand on rollover. This behaviour is achieved by transforming a contiguous set of HTML images into an expanding Dock, vertical or horizontal, with or without labels.
jqDock expands a reduced size image towards its full size when the cursor is on or near it. You can specify a vertical or horizontal orientation for the Dock, and select the direction in which the image should expand and whether to show labels or not. The styling and positioning of the Dock is (almost) entirely down to you.
You can use 2 different images for clarity, one for the minimised ‘at rest’ state, and one for performing the enlargement to its full size. Alternatively, you can just use the one larger image as long as you are happy with its definition when reduced by the browser.
