With jQuery text effects you can do really cool and dynamic stuff on your web pages.

However keep in mind that text effects in web design is far away from the popularity we saw in the early days of the Internet and in some cases can be best used as funny JavaScript effects. Back then text usually was flying around (just because it could),

it was changing colors in rainbow style etc. And then of course placed next to a few ugly, intense colored animated icons and other examples of pixel art.

Today some cool jQuery text effects can still be useful when used right and often they are also simple to install and use. This article is a roundup of the jQuery text effects you can use in your web development or just check out to be inspired. Keep in mind though that the trend goes towards creating HTML5 canvas animations and text is not the only element to play around with.

A really popular type of jQuery plugins are jQuery Slider or jQuery Carousel plugins typically used for showcasing featured content and products.

Slider 28

slider 28

This is actually a collection of text, video and image sliders to help you present content in a much decent manner. All in all, there are 28 sliders that are included with the package. Every slider is entirely independent from the others. You will find that every slider has a unique CSS file contained in the CSS folder.

All of the 28 sliders included with this pack is made with jQuery, CSS and HTML. Every slider takes data from an external XML file. Majority of the settings found in each slider can be customized with only minor changes in CSS, the variables contained in the variable .js file and the value in config XML file. Actually you will only copy paste. In the case of popups, you can change some of the vital settings from config.xml.
