Coin Slider is a jQuery image slider plugin that has unique transition effects.

It has a navigation box and prev-next buttons that appear on hover for easily browsing images.

The slider has an optional auto-slide feature which can also pause on hovers.

Coin Slider can “show information” about the images displayed and images can also be set as links to the defined URLs.

The plugin has also a lot of room for customizing the effects, including:

• effect type (random, swirl, rain, straight)
• squares per width and height
• delays in squares and transitions
• opacity level and speed of the information

And, best of all, it is compatible with all major browsers (yes, including IE6).

It can appear by clicking an input field or directly appended into the target element and can be browsed quickly as months or years.

The picker can be set to display a range of years or limited to today’s date. And, a selected date can be passed within the parameters which is useful when editing a date field.

jsDatePick comes with ~10 color schemes where new ones can be created.
