Looking for jQuery Carousel with resizing elements. write from scratch or plugin?

Question

I have a task ahead of me and I would like to plan the best way of attacking it before diving in. I need to make a carousel with resizing elements that animate similar to this page/plugin http://www.eogallery.com/ This gallery seems like it needs a lot of work and does not operate very smooth. I have used jcarousel many times and have customized but recall a fixed width and height is needed on each element in order for it to work properly. Before I spend the day playing with plugins I would like to know if anyone has any insight on:

a. Where I can find a plugin that is well developed/documented for jQuery that can perform the task.

b. If this is an somewhat easy task in jQuery (I know it seems simple in thought) the best way to complete it.

Note: I would like to rely solely on js / jQuery for this task.

Thanks stackoverflowers!

Answer 1

I would recommend using jcarousel and just adding a resize element. jcarousel is gpl so you should be good there with editing it. I have spent NUMEROUS hours searching for carousel plugins and the only good ones I saw where jcarousel or were in flash.
