DHTML Showcase: iZoom in JavaScript

In late 2004, I released a free Java/Swing app called iZoom for cropping and resizing photos (It may look like a Cocoa app, but I assure you… it’s pure Swing with MANY custom UI controls painstakingly customized to look like Aqua widgets… god Swing is a pain in the ass).

I’m still working occasionally on porting iZoom over to Cocoa. I’ve gotten off-track with it several times now… I really enjoy creating developer tools (specifically of the XML-variety) like XML-RPC Client or XML Nanny more than I enjoy building consumer-targeted apps like iZoom.

Anyhow… today I ported the iZoom UI to the Web! All I’ve done is create main UI minus the actual cropping features. The example uses DHTML - XHTML/CSS/JavaScript to offer a highly-dynamic image resizing UI. Maybe I’ll actually do something with this soon.

iZoom for the web.

Works in IE 6/Win, IE 5.5/Win, IE 5.0/Win(!). Firefox/Moz/NN, Safari, Opera, OmniWeb, Camino, etc.
