Slideshows How does it work?

[friso 0]

Hi all,

I saw this a few days ago, and wonder how it works.
Itâs basically just a few images and they make a slideshow.
I took a look at the code, and gathered you had to put something into the head, and that it was a javascript code, but I canât find it anywhere... can you please help me?

PS: donât look at the text, itâs dutch, you probalby wonât understand it, so donât bother trying

I found those on google. If you want more links, you can search for them too.

i dunno if this will help but i've done something like before, but instead of using javascript i just made a gif and faded inmages in and out, works the same way and not as hard as you'd think.

I did a slide show once too only using metta content refresh:<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="3; URL=NextFile.html">It made the whole page change, so it's not exactly what like your example. To do what you showed I think the best thing to do would just be to make an animated GIF as firedoor said. Javascript is nice, but not always enabled on all browsers. And of course if you want to make a "slide show" rather than just a changing image, you can you the meta refresh.

yeah, i know how simple that is, just two things i don't like about it:

quality loss

big files

and, because i don't it to look so amateuristic, i wanted to do this.
