Make a JavaScript Slideshow
/skill level/
/viewed/
JavaScript slide shows are great for a lot of reasons. You can use them to spice up photo albums, add a little pizzazz to your home page, or even show a story, stop-motion-animation style. And one of the beauties of JavaScript is its reusability:Once you create your script, building a new slide show is just a matter of copying the code and pointing it at a new image folder.
To get an idea of the magic I'm talking about here, take a look at the slide show I made of the pics from my friend Azure's going away party. While Azure's parting was sweet, sweet sorrow, my loss is your gain:The script I used to create this slide show is easy to learn and modify. Just you wait and see!
Yes, in the lessons that follow, I'll show you how to build your very own slide show, then how to tweak it to your liking. (A hearty thanks goes out to Robert Bui - several parts of the JavaScript code I'm about to share are "inspired" by his script, which can be found at JavaScript.internet.com.)
