About

The Plugin

jRumble is a jQuery plugin that rumbles, vibrates, shakes, and rotates any element you choose. It's great to use as a hover effect or a way to direct attention to an element.

Please read this before using jRumble. Flashing and flickering objects on the web can be dangerous. Please use this plugin responsibly.

Usage

Include jQuery and jRumble

Include jQuery and jRumble just before your closing body tag. Make sure the paths to your files are correct. I recommend including via Google Libraries API.


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

Initialize jRumble on a Selector and Trigger Start or Stop

You can do this in a script tag within your HTML or in an external JavaScript file.


// Initialize jRumble on Selector
$('#rumble-element').jrumble();

// Start rumble on element
$('#rumble-element').trigger('startRumble');

// Stop rumble on element
$('#rumble-element').trigger('stopRumble');
