Simple Responsive Photo Gallery with jQuery - CC Photo Gallery

A simple jQuery implementation of an unobtrusive responsive photo gallery with a side or bottom thumbnail navigation accordion to the screen size.

How to use it:

1. The html structure for the photo gallery.

<div class="photo-gallery">
  <div class="current-photo">
    <img>
  </div>
  <div class="photo-list">
    <ul>
      <li data-src="1.jpg">
        <div class="thumbnail">
          <img src="1.jpg">
        </div>
      </li>
      <li data-src="2.jpg">
        <div class="thumbnail">
          <img src="2.jpg">
        </div>
      </li>
      <li data-src="3.jpg">
        <div class="thumbnail">
          <img src="3.jpg">
        </div>
      </li>
      ...
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>

2. The required CSS styles.

.photo-gallery {
  margin: 20px auto;
  width: 70%;
}

.photo-gallery ul {
  padding: 0;
  overflow: auto;
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0;
}

.photo-gallery ul li { display: block; }

.photo-gallery ul li .thumbnail {
  padding-bottom: 2px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.photo-gallery ul li:last-child .thumbnail { padding-bottom: 0px; }

.photo-gallery ul li img { width: 100%; }

.photo-gallery .photo-list { margin-left: 80%; }

.photo-gallery .current-photo {
  width: 80%;
  float: left;
  padding-right: 2px;
}

.photo-gallery .current-photo img {
  max-height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}

3. Make the photo gallery work well on small devices (screen size < 900px).

@media screen and (max-width: 900px) {

.photo-gallery {
  width: 100%;
  padding: 0;
}

.photo-gallery .current-photo {
  width: 100%;
  float: none;
}

.photo-gallery .photo-list {
  width: 100%;
  margin-top: 5px;
  text-align: center;
  margin-left: 0;
  overflow: auto;
}

.photo-gallery ul li {
  float: left;
  width: 25%;
}

.photo-gallery ul li img { width: 98%; }
}

4. Include jQuery library from a CDN.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>

5. The JavaScript to enable the photo gallery.

$(function() {

  $('.photo-gallery ul li').click(function() {
    var src = $(this).data('src');
    var $gallery = $(this).closest('.photo-gallery');
    $gallery.find('.current-photo img').attr('src', src);
  });

  $('.photo-gallery').each(function() {
    $(this).find('li')[0].click();
  });

});
