Zoom an Image by dragging using jQuery


Introduction

In this article we are going to explore that how we will produce a zooming effect using jQuery. Further in details in this we will see that whenever we dragged on the image from the particular location then it an image which is on the side of the dragging image will zoom slowly slowly. But it's only happened when we will drag on the original images. We almost know that what the meaning of zooming, it's the magnifying procedure of an image want to see it most clearly. But it's all possible by using a jQuery plugin named as jQZoom which will make it much simple to create such type of zooming effect. In this article we will see only the dragging effect whenever we dragged an image then it zoomed. Now for applying such type of functionality you have to follow some steps which is given below:

Step 1: Firstly you have to take a web site let see how you will do it.

  • Go to visual studio 2010
  • New-> Select a website application

Step 6: In this step we will write the stylesheet code which will looks like given below:

Code:

<
style type="text/css">
body
 {
  margin:0px;padding:0px;font-family:Comic Sans MS;
 }
a img,:link img,:visited img
 {
     border:5px groove #2a2a2a;
 }
table
 {
     border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0;
 }
:focus
 { outline:none;
 }
*
{
    margin:0;padding:0;
}
.clearfix:after
{
    clear:both;content:".";display:block;font-size:0;height:0;line-height:0;visibility:hidden;
}
.clearfix
{
    display:block;zoom:1
}
.imzoom
{
       text-decoration:none;
       float:left;
       border:5px groove yellow;
}
</style>

Step 7: In this step we will write the jQuery code which is given below:

Step 8: In this step we will see the complete code for the project let see the code given below:

Code:

 }
table
 {
     border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0;
 }
:focus
 { outline:none;
 }
*
{
    margin:0;padding:0;
}
.clearfix:after
{
    clear:both;content:".";display:block;font-size:0;height:0;line-height:0;visibility:hidden;
}
.clearfix
{
    display:block;zoom:1
}
.imzoom
{
       text-decoration:none;
       float:left;
       border:5px groove yellow;
}
</style>
<
script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('.imzoom').jqzoom({
            zoomType: 'drag',
            lens: true,
            preloadImages: false
        });
    });
</script>
</
head>
<
body>
<
div class="clearfix" id="content" style="margin-top:100px;margin-left:350px; height:500px;width:500px;" >
    <div class="clearfix">
        <a href="images/bike3big.jpg" class="imzoom" rel='gal1'  title="Zooming on drag" >
            <img src="images/bike3small.jpg"  title="triumph"  style="border: 4px groove #888888;" alt="img"/>
        </a>
    </div>
       <br/>
</div>
</
body>
</
html>

Step 9: In this step we will see the Design of the Default2.aspx page let see the figure given below:
