I'm not sure how this thingy is called, but it's really cool and very practical. I think it's called something like a Feature Slideshow. Basically, it's sorta a flash object that goes through various images, each representing a feature posting. The images slide beautifully between each other, with various transitions. Can't quite explain it. Here's a few examples: http://www.huckmagazine.com/ http://www.mtv.com/ I think there's some Java script and Ajax involved in it, but I really don't know how to code it. Anyone, any ideas? Please? Thanks in advance.
The MTV one is done via Flash. I don't know what to tell you regarding the other one. What I can tell you is that I use Drupal and there is a great slide show feature there. I am sure with a bit of coding you could get an AJAX script to over lap the images. To see the side show in Drupal, you can visit my site xira.co.il/gallery Good luck
