jQuery is a great tool that everyone in web development should be using to make the functionality of their websites better, it's easy of use and good documentation is what makes jQuery such a successful framework. Although the documentation is good there are still a lot of tutorials out there that you should check out.
For this tutorial we will be using the ImgBrowz0r class for the backend of the gallery, we will then write a jQuery script so that we can browse through the gallery created by ImgBrowz0r without no page reloads and a nice effect between page requests so the user knows the page has changed. We will also be using the prettyPhoto plugin for jQuery to open up the actual images.
