What is the official term of the scrolling picturebox I have seen on some web sites. In fact, one is here right above where I am typing this that scrolles automatically from "Rules" to "Adverising" to "premeium membership" There is also one on the bbc.com web site and seattleu.edu. What are they called? I want to know before I figure out how to make one of my own.
These are called "Image Faders" and they use easily available JavaScript code. For examples, you may try this link: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm There are three things to be careful of when using faders: Do not make them so large that they take up all of the valuable space on your page "above the fold", meaning the visible area of your page before visitors have to scroll. Do not clutter each image with lots of text or complex graphics. It's not content, it's eye-candy. Do not make the transitions occur so frequently that people can not possibly read every word on every slide. Never, ever use Flash technology to create an image fader. Flash is obsolete because it does not work on mobile devices.
hello, this is call slide banner with changing images . Every time it change image . You can make this in to java script . even you can set time to between change images . You can also make this slider in to flash and in javascript . but as per me you should use java script because every search engines crawler can crawl images from javascript but in flash search engine crawlers never crawl images . Thanks!
