CarouFredSel - A Flexible And Powerful jQuery Carousel Plugin

Introduction

We can easily find a carousel script online, but to find one that is easy to style, flexible and robust is ain't an easy job. Introduced is a jQuery plugin called carouFredSel, implied by its name, it's a jquery carousel plugin created by Fred

I had numerous bad experiences with carousel script available online, and carouFredSel totally blew me away by its "just work" capability. Pretty sure there is complex calculation going on there to adapt the carousel to CSS styling. For basic implementation, it's really simple, however, it's a steep learning curve (configuration, events, styling etc) to create an unique carousel. The good news is carouFredSel website has a good documentation, a lot of examples (with html, css & js), and a carouFredSel generator called Configuration Robot to assist those who are not familiar with javascript.
