I have been looking around the net in the last week for a nice slideshow script for use on a clients website. A working version of the slideshow can be seen at Poletease.com
After searching the net for some time, writing a few of my own, this one fitted in very nicely into the project. It was easily editted , and moulded perfectly into the design. Follow this to find the whole article Dynamic Image Gallery and Slideshow – Web Development Blog

This extremely lightweight JavaScript image gallery and slideshow script clocks in under 3kb packed and includes a number of cool features. Recently I was looking for a nice existing script for a client project. I wanted something elegant, simple and lightweight.

What I found were a number of scripts built on JavaScript frameworks and a few others that really lacked any appealing interface or were over 30kb. I challenged myself to build a full-featured slideshow gallery under 4kb. Hopefully I will be add a few more features to the script soon and make it a little mode user-friendly.

The list section is the important element to the gallery. Each li has a value property that is set to the name of the full-size image. The interface is very flexible and can easily be altered in the HTML and CSS.

You will also need to setup the variables below and include the slideshow JavaScript…

1 var imgid = 'image'; // id of image div //
2 var imgdir = 'fullsize'; // full-size image directory //
3 var imgext = '.jpg'; // full-size image extension //
4 var thumbid = 'thumbs'; // id of the thumbnail container //
5 var auto = true; // automatic rotation toggle //
6 var autodelay = 5; // seconds before the image rotates //

This script isn’t completely polished yet but I wanted to go ahead and get it out there for anyone that can put it to use. It has been tested in all major browsers and is available free of charge for both personal or commercial projects under the creative commons license. Community support is available here. Paid support is also available, contact me for details.

I hope this provides a really nice solution for anyone looking for a nice manageable slideshow script.
