Javascript / jQuery plugin to allow horizontal scroll effect

Question

Basically I would like to archive results like that: http://www.pixelapse.com/#

Does someone know any nice plugins for that or good articles explaining how to do such effect. I'm able to google http://flowplayer.org/tools/scrollable/ but maybe you know some alternatives?

Answer 1

This effect is called a carousel. Typically you shift through elements in a list with some sort of animations and controllers.

This article from Tripwire Magazine should give you a pretty good overview of what's out there. As you can see, a lot of the carousels out there are intended for displaying picture galleries, so it might require a bit of hacking on your part to get the result you want.
