Upload all files and directories from the jQzoom package to your server.The current package includes the JS,CSS,IMAGES folders.
Note: If you decide to rename folders or to change the directory structure,take a look a the image paths inside the CSS and remember to specify the correct file paths in your calling page.

Add first the last jQuery release, then the jQZoom script(don't forget this),the correct order is important.Look at the installation code below.

<script type='text/javascript' src='js/jquery-1.2.6.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='js/jquery.jqzoom-1.0.1.js'></script>

Add jqzoom.css to your header.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jqzoom.css" />

 

Using jQZoom is easy,but you need to specify the HTML anchor element,that is going to generate the zoom revealing a portion of the enlarged image.

<a href="images/BIGIMAGE.JPG" class="MYCLASS"  title="MYTITLE">
<img src="images/SMALLIMAGE.JPG" title="IMAGE TITLE"  >
</a>

The anchor element wraps the small image you would like to zoom.Following this schema the necessary and base elements are:

SMALLIMAGE.JPG: Represents the small image you would like to zoom.
BIGIMAGE.JPG: Represents the big image that jQZoom will reveal.
MYCLASS: Represents the anchor class,that would be used to instantiate the jQZoom script to all the elements matching this class(you can use an ID as well).
MYTITLE/IMAGE TITLE: Anchor title and/or image title that will be used to show the zoom title close to the jQZoom Window.

Now load the plugin at window load.

$(document).ready(function(){
	$('.MYCLASS).jqzoom();
});
			    	

This would instantiate jQzoom in default(standard) mode.You can pass more options(Documentation section),to create special or custom effects as in the example below.

$(document).ready(function(){
	var options = {
	    zoomWidth: 300,
	    zoomHeight: 250,
            xOffset: 10,
            yOffset: 0,
            position: "right" //and MORE OPTIONS
};
	$('.MYCLASS).jqzoom(options);
});
