What happened to JZoomit?

Hi, I made a few sites a couple of years ago which used JZoomit, a script which expands an image, from a thumbnail, to the full size image (using two different images), but when I search on Google for it (I wanted to see if there was a more up to date version, just in case mine was out of date) I can't find it. Does anybody know what happened to it? I was worried that maybe it had stopped being used for some reason, and that I should find a new image zoomer.

Are you sure it’s called JZoomIt. It would be weird if a search engine returns nothing at all. The next closest that comes to mind is JQZoom.

Hi Stephan, the script I'm using is called jzoomit.min.js, I've used it on two sites.

This is what's in the head of the file:

Code:

/* jzoomit.js * v1.0

*/

but jzoomit.com no longer exists, which is odd. Does the 'MIT License' mean it isn't open source (or whatever the phrase is)?

Yeah that’s odd but I guess you can consider any further development on that plug-in abandoned. Regarding the MIT License, the internet is your friend.
