Setup

HTML

EasyZoom does not rely on a specific markup structure but it is important that the EasyZoom target element (<div class="easyzoom">) only contains a link to the large image and the smaller image. Any other elements within the EasyZoom target must not affect its layout, E.G. elements that are positioned absolutely.

<div class="easyzoom">

    <a href="images/zoom.jpg">

        <img src="images/standard.jpg" alt="" />

    </a>

</div>

CSS

The EasyZoom target element must 'shrink wrap' the smaller image, this can be achieved either by floating it or by displaying it as an inline block . Extra white space below the image (usually caused by the line box the image sits within) can be removed either by displaying it at block level or changing its position within the line box.

Take a look at the included easyzoom.css for more information on styling EasyZoom.

/* Shrink wrap strategy 1 */

.easyzoom {

    float: left;

}

.easyzoom img {

    display: block;

}





/* Shrink wrap strategy 2 */

.easyzoom {

    display: inline-block;

}

.easyzoom img {

    vertical-align: bottom;

}

JavaScript

The EasyZoom plugin is instantiated as any other jQuery plugin and an instances API can be accessed via element data. EasyZoom is also AMD and CommonJS compatible.

// Instantiate EasyZoom plugin

var $easyzoom = $('.easyzoom').easyZoom();



// Get the instance API

var api = $easyzoom.data('easyZoom');
