Today we want to share some neat grid navigation effects using jQuery. In our examples we will show you ten ways how to navigate through a set of thumbnails. We’ll take a look at some of the possibilities and how to apply the effect.
The images used in the demos are by Andrew and Lili and you can see their Behance profile here:

The images are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License.
Take a look at all the examples (you can also navigate from them to all the other examples):
- Default (show/hide)
- Fade
- Sequential fade
- Move/fade
- Sequential move/fade
- Sequential move/fade reversed
- Resize (show/hide)
- Disperse
- Rows move
- Sequential move/fade (3 rows)
You can use the mousewheel to navigate through the thumbnails.
The HTML structure that the script is based on is basically a list of element and some navigation arrows wrapped by a container with class and id “tj_container”.
Let’s see an example for using the sequential move/fade:
$('#tj_container').gridnav({
rows : 2,
navL : '#tj_prev',
navR : '#tj_next',
type : {
mode : 'sequpdown',
speed : 400,
easing : '',
factor : 50,
reverse : false
}
});
The following parameters can be used/set:
rows: the number of rows to be shown in the grid
navL/navR: the selectors for the previous and next navigation elements
mode: the type of animation; you can use def | fade | seqfade | updown | sequpdown | showhide | disperse | rows
speed: the speed of the animation for fade, seqfade, updown, sequpdown, showhide, disperse, rows
easing: the easing effect for fade, seqfade, updown, sequpdown, showhide, disperse, rows
factor: delay between each item animation for seqfade, sequpdown; amount of pixels the row move when using rows
reverse: for reversing the order when using sequpdown
We hope you like these little effects and find them useful!
Image Wall with jQuery

@Mary
I use firefox and chrome.
I faced the same problem like what Stephen said, the effect goes well after the first refresh, but it seems the demo is now better than ever.
Keep up the wonderful work.
I love this little script.. And I love this site.. Thanks ML..
super cool. any chance it scrolls horizontally?
always amazing jQuery tut’s if landing here ;)
like usually….ck ck ck ^:)^ hohohoho \m/
Would be perfect with sortable/filterable options. Very good job!
I’m having the same problem as well, using the latest version of Chrome. When I load another grid it looks like its reloading the style sheet. Maybe if you reset it before you load again, it doesnt bug. I had the same problem with colorbox, easy fixed with a function
but very good job on that anyways!
HI Mary

Hi Mary,
congrats on the script,
this one is really great and very usefull. Can’t really decide which effect i should use, they all are very impressive :)
Best As Always :)
Awesome as always! I’ll definitely have to give you so much credit for inspiration when I launch :)
Amazing work …
Will try to use this professional.
Thanks Mary Lou for those beauties
Innovative. Thanks again. <3 your tuts.
Works great in Firefox, but doesn’t work at all in the latest version of Chrome. It doesn’t appear to lay the images out properly or animate them – they just sit on top of each other.
I experience the same problems when trying to switch between each. Guess it not refreshing properly :D
For easing this a very useful url
