Blueberry - image slider plugin

What is Blueberry?

Blueberry is an experimental opensource jQuery image slider plugin which has been written specifically to work with fluid/responsive web layouts.

A brief history

With the popularity of smart phones and tablet devices responsive/fluid web layouts have become an important part of modern web design.

Working on a new project I decided to use the 1140px grid from cssgrid.net. The design I was working on included a large image slider on the front page. As I set about choosing a jQuery plugin to use, I started to realise that very few are compatible with responsive/flexible layouts (at least not without some hacking) as most require a fixed width.

So, I decided to start writing a basic plugin with the aim of making it suitable for responsive web design.

The goal

The hope is that I can at least nudge developers of more popular slider plugins to think about responsive web design, and make their plugins compatible.

In the mean time, I aim to continue to develop this plugin (time permitting), squashing some of the bugs and implementing more advanced features.

How to use Blueberry

• By default the slider will assume the width of it's parent element, this can be tweaked with CSS min/max-width.
• All images should be of equal dimensions. The slider will assume the height & width of the first image.
• The blueberry function must be called inside $(window).load() to avoid a bug in webkit browsers (see markup below).
• Don't forget to include the blueberry.css style sheet. This sets the base styles that are required for the slider to work.
• You can add the .crop class too the ul.slides element to crop the images rather than resizing them, try it!
• When themeing avoid applying any padding or margin to the ul.slides element. The safest option is to wrap it in another <div> and style that instead.
