I hacked together a carousel a couple of years ago (Didn't realize that they were so common that there was a term) and it wasn't anywhere near as smooth as this one. Very very well done, you have my compliments. I’d just like to throw in another compliment.

I'd tend to agree but what to call these fake carousels? Conveyor belts? ;) Looks like the prototype carousel also doesn’t qualify under Fabio’s rules as it doesn’t rotate forever.

It works fairly well, although I still have to tweak some display things. You have to be mindful of the width of your images, the CSS, and the JS parameters. My values aren't precise, and so the images are a little cut off and you don't scroll through a whole window of images each time. I think those are my fault and not iCarousel's fault though.

Let me tell a little about each of the "most complained" topics: 1. IE7 is broken: I found this one is related to the current size of the page, it's happening because I left everything in a unique document. If I remove the examples code it start working again. So, it will be fixed very soon, I'm just looking a good way to separe the things. Sorry for that "mea culpa". 2. Delay/Slowness: The duration of transition can be modified. it was using around 1 sec for each effect, so the entire slide should take around 3 sec (really slow, but smooth). I decreased the time to 250 ms and now the effect is really fast. 3. "This is the same concept as JCarousel which is a jQuery plugin." - by Scott. Answer: Well, I'm really sorry to tell you this but you are completely wrong oO;; This JCarousel doesn't even deserve the name carousel, since it's content doesn't rotate forever. It's much more like "JListSlider" 'cause it's built to handle only lists, in other words it's a lot dependent of this html structure while a smart guy with iCarousel can notice it can handle any type of structure since it's more CSS dependent. Look closely, I'm not saying mine is better, maybe jCarousel could be better (i'd never see that before), but their nature is completely different. I can't do anything if SOME of the applied possibilities looks similar. Hi ajaxians,

As it is, should I really be looking for something, I would get frustrated pretty quickly while waiting for all of the effects.

However, I noticed they're not very responsive in IE. Even in firefox, the scrolling is inconsistent. It does not scroll when I click on the left or right arrow. I have to move my mouse further to the edges to get them to scroll. Cool concept.
