[jQuery] Question about making a simple gallery for a portfolio
Hello,
I am new to jquery and have looked at many of the existing plugins. In
essence, I want to know if
1) I missed something and can modify an existing gallery plugin to
suit my needs
2) Someone could point me in the right direction about writing this
myself?
Basically I want to have an xml file with:
- Image Path
- Image Caption
and the Image and Caption displayed in specific divs along with prev/
next links in specific divs. Clicking prev/next, the image would be
loaded by ajax and fadein with the caption updated as well.
I was hoping for something as flexible as the <a href="http://
www.mudcorporation.com/code/js/MudFadeGallery-2.2.1/">Mudcorp Fade
Gallery</a> but it's based on prototype. I've looked at countless
existing plugins but perhaps I am just tired and missing something?
A simple mockup follows:

Thank you so much to anyone who helps, I have heard great things about
the jquery community and am looking forward to learning lots about it!
