Newlikecalvin. It's got a clever javascript slideshow thing that's quite, quite beautiful. I didn't code it - such things are beyond me - but I did implement it.

I suggest you all have a look, before it gets really popular and everybody wants one.

Thanks, Joe! I'm still worried about it breaking in older, crappier browsers, but I couldn't be bothered to not upload it any longer. There's more bits and pieces to go up but at least the structure's in place.

Thanks, Helen.

I'm now starting to fret about all the things that aren't quite there yet. That's to be expected, I s'pose.

Well, it's in the page source, but it's possibly easiest to get from Scott's original version since I made a little addition to the code.

There's also a great ongoing discussion about it over at clagnut.com

Essesntially it's a single page per slideshow with all the javascript included, and you set a bunch of Arrays for each image name, size and caption. Very simple to use, luckily for me.

Thanks, ms. monkeypunk!

Actually it's a javascript/CSS thingie - the js manipulates elements set in the CSS. So grab the CSS from here and the javascript from the html here.
