Creating Changing Photo Banner for Website

trotter_inc

Hey guys,

Working on my first website project at the moment and I would like to get some opinions on how to create one of those nice photo banners where the images change by fading in and out. My home page was just going to have a single static image but I think those 'changing images' are way nicer. I know it can be done with Flash but I don't have a licence, I was wondering if there was any free tools out there which do the same thing?

I have seen how it can be done with Javascript, but I don't really like the way the image changes instantly. I love the way the 'Flash' type ones fade in and out.

I have taken the initiative and done some googling, there seems to be a lot out there; I've tried some of the online ones which auto generate the code for you, but none of them have worked out for me.

Any help appreciated guys

You can do it in Javascript using JQuery, and you can have the images fading in and out.

As komodosp says, JQuery is probably the best way to get this kind of thing going easily and robustly in Javascript.

This tutorial looks like it'll do the trick;
