Ajax Help with ful_ajax_gallery
Howdy folks
I’m playing with an idea for my blog and was wanting to use the ful_ajax_gallery plugin which appears to have the basic functions I want ie: Loads articles from a specific section+category -> pre-loads them (spinner) -> fades them in one after the other.
The problem is, the ful_ajax_gallery plugin page isn’t too easy for an inexperienced ajax person to decipher!
So: Has anyone had any experience with this plugin? Or could anyone recommend a plugin with similar features?
Thanks!

I’ve never used it but I have written an entire site in ajax before (see starstika.com — excuse the fact that the music player never loads: the 3rd party site musicfreedom.com where it is hosted is down/defunct and I haven’t the time to go through and find a new home for all the music).
I never released the plugin that handled it all because it had IE issues. These may actually have been solved in the latest version of jQuery but I haven’t tested it. My plugin sounds a lot simpler to implement than ful_ajax_gallery because you simlpy wrap the content you want AJAxing in a div in your page template, add a hidden spinner to the page then tell the plugin which sections and/or/ links contain articles you want to grab via AJAX. But it doesn’t ‘preload’ content; it only loads documents on demand.
Give me a shout via email sometime if you want the beta plugin to play with.
