    Hi i believe this was simple but i couldnt not find the correct result from Google so i thought i'd ask here.
    Basically i would like to have an image that rotates between two images and maybe some sort of transition between the changing of the two images (effect). Is this possible without flash, i would like it compatabaile with most browser obviously.
    I want the images to change automatically not requiring a user click.

    Is this possible? Many Thanks in advance it's really appreciated.

    It may be possible with ajax ... you could try using script.aculo.us for it ;)

    Ask yourself why you don't want Flash. Many of the sites proposed use Javascript; if your reason for no Flash is "not everyone has it" this same problem will come with Js.

    Depending on the situation, the Flash may be smaller in size.

    What do you mean by "rotate"? If you mean switch from one image to another, you could possibly even get away with it using an animated gif. Only thing is, then it's not random.

    I have a javascript code for this which worked in 1997, so i'm pretty sure most browsers would be okay with that. Basically, it displayes a particular image for each time period of a minute. For example, you can set it up to show image A if it is between 0-29 seconds of the present minute when the page loads, or image B if it is between 30-59 seconds on the current minute, or u could have a different image for each 5 second interval... its up to you.
    I would have put it up but i'll have to look for it.. and if u dont need it i don't wanna bother. but if u want this script, PM me or post here and i'll put it up for you!

    Not if you disable Javascript. I think that is what Stomme poes was talking about moe374.
