Dojo/Flickr Image Gallery

I have written an Ajax image gallery built on top of Dojo Ajax Toolkit version 0.4.3. Some of its features include:

• Pages of thumbnails.
• Intelligent pre-loading of images so the images you are looking at are loaded first.
• Fade effects for transitioning of images
• Populated using JSON data.
• Flickr integration - remotely load your Flickr images.
• Paging through a Flickr collection.
• Slideshow

Update: If you are using Dojo 1.0 or higher, see the rewritten Image Gallery widgets that I committed to the Dojo Toolkit. Check out my blog post at http://shaneosullivan.wordpress.com/2007/10/13/introducing-the-new-dojo-image-widgets

The sos.widget.ImageGallery has been written using Dojo version 0.4.3, and should work fine with version 0.4.2 also. I blogged about this here, please comment on that post if you have any feedback - bug reports, additions etc.
