More Jquery : Reflections
It amazes me how people can “extend shortcuts”. First there was Jquery, the shorter and meaner way to write Javascript and now there are extensions/ plugins. Smaller chunks of code that build upon Jquery to achieve cross browser effects. If you are still reflecting , I suggest you look for Reflections, the Jquery plugin that puts images in a new perspective.
From the makers of Evolution 5 online browser-based role playing game , comes a new library for Jquery, that reflects any image using Javascript, without the need for manipulating the image on your desktop or on your server.
Reflections is a tiny library (2k), that does the trick using browser filters for opacity.

http://n.vain.in/reflect.html has a purely client side javascript implementation of reflection
Its a great attempt, however the script generates a ton of divs to achieve the effect. I dont know what you mean by a purely client side implementation as Jquery is also “purely clientside”
The Jquery implementation takes the picture, flips it and adds a opacity filter to it,
In IE your script has a unwanted side effect of “32 images downloading etc.” , In firefox the results are surprisingly smooth.
