A fairly common web interface feature is the dynamic view switcher. On product pages or blog archives you’ll sometimes find buttons to change the layout from display lists to smaller grids. In this tutorial I’ve built a simpler example using basic CSS and some jQuery commands.I’ll be using interface elements from the Zephirro E-Commerce UI Set which include buttons and thumbnail photos. Feel free to demo the code yourself and try out a similar experience on your own website. This is a tricky effect to nail down, but when done properly your users will love the unique experience.This tutorial should give you a strong introduction to manipulating your page layouts with jQuery. Even the simple action of mixing up classes & IDs can boldly enhance the user experience.
