The Sexy Curls jQuery Plugin!

spacer Follow me on Twitter!

is an open-source jQuery plugin by Elliott Kember
which lets you share in the beauty of the page fold.
You want a demo page? You're looking at it. Go drag the fold →
The source code is available at GitHub.
The plugin now works in IE7. You can also now set it to curl automatically.

Installation:

First, make sure you're using jQuery and jQuery UI (version 1.5 works)
You'll need the resizable package in jQuery UI.
Then install the source code into a directory called turn in your public directory.
Insert this code into your page: 

			  
  <script type="text/javascript" src="/img/spacer.gif"> 
		

			Then, create an element to show behind the curl. 

			Personally, I use an image of a code sample, but you can use whatever you like.
		

			
			  
  <img id="target" src="/img/spacer.gif"> 
		

			Now, all you have to do is call the function like this:
		

			
			  
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $( '#target' ).fold();
  });
			

		

			You should be set! Stand by for thousands of admirers.
		


		

		  
		  Getting more awesome with it
		

		

			Not exactly what you want? Huh? Well, luckily you're so awesome that I've included some options:
		

			
			  
  // Default awesomeness
  var defaults = {
    directory: 'turn',      // The directory we're in
    side: 'left',           // change me to "right" if you want rightness
    turnImage: 'fold.png',  // The triangle-shaped fold image
    max,         // The maximum height. Duh.
    starting,     // The height and width 
    starting,    // with which to start (these should probably be camelCase, d'oh.)
    autoCurl: false         // If this is set to true, the fold will curl/uncurl on mouseover/mouseout.
  };
			

		

			Feel free to mess with them and try and get it to work best for you.

			If you're looking at the advanced options, you're probably a clever clogs anyway.

      That means you can do whatever you damn well please with it.

      You can even print it out and wear it as a hat if you like.

      But please, use it wisely. If it starts popping up everywhere and becomes

      “that annoying javascript thing”, I'll be very upset.
