Top 10 Javascript slideshows, carousels and sliders

Nice collection. A couple others that can be handy are http://benjaminsterling.com/jquery-jqgalscroll-photo-gallery/ and http://benjaminsterling.com/jquery-jqgalview-photo-gallery/

He’s using jQuery and I think they’re both really nice for a more casual friendly feel.

I’m using JCarousel on my theme now. See demo: http://www.wp-maganews.com/

Thanks for this amazing compilation of Javascript slideshows and carousels. really great. i’ve seen some of them already but the list is just great. thanks for sharing this.

Nice list – but I think you are missing Slideshow 2! Intelligent thumbnails, KenBurns effect, full-featured controller, accessible, animate every aspect of the show using only CSS, so degradable it even works with JS turned off:

Great tools! I was wondering if anyone knew what tool was being used at huffingtonpost.com on the right side bar Most Popular Posts widget. When you click on a story, a shadowbox opens and allows a quick read of the story. I think this is cool, but have no idea what plugin is used to create it.

Hello,

which if these slideshows can be used in an Ebay listing ? I believe that this means no access to the header, and restricted Javascript code, however Flash code is allowable.

“I found out exactly what you can an[d] cannot do in a ebay listing:

* HTML or JavaScript used to drop or read a cookie on any eBay page
* HTML or JavaScript that redirects the user from eBay to another page (such as the “replace” script)
* HTML or JavaScript that automatically call remote scripts and pages (such as JavaScript includes or iframes)
* HTML or JavaScript that changes registry entries, or otherwise write to another’s computer hard drive
* HTML or JavaScript that creates automatic “pop-ups” (exception – links that open in a new window when clicked on)
* HTML or JavaScript that automatically posts to scripts in eBay
* HTML or JavaScript that automatically loads any binary program on another’s computer (exception – Flash content)
* HTML or JavaScript that automatically overwrites any area on the listing outside of the item description area”

Thank you,

DH

I just made this plugin for jQuery, check it out: http://www.serie3.info/s3slider/

This is an amazing one from pixsite.com: http://www.piksite.com/carousel.us/carousel.us.php

I prefer using jquery for website development since it is faster and lighter then mootools and now that there is a great image slideshow with overlay text (http://www.serie3.info/s3slider/index.php) it really rocks. Thanks Boban!

I think Space Gallery is the coolest of them all. Thanks for the great article. I have you bookmarked!

I’ve been looking for the one titled SmoothGallery for a while and found it here, there rest are pretty awesome as well especially the very first one!

Hello,

I am looking for a slideshow mask where a graphic can cover the upper left hand corner of a slideshow. Any help in locating this is appreciated.

Thanks …..

Thanks a lot guys. Very cool and nice scripts. I must try on myportal.

Excellent dude. These things rock!!!

Hi,
I wonder if someone could give a little assistance to a non-coder: I’m trying to implement the JCarousel on my site. I’ve got everything working okay, but one think I want to do is hyperlink off each image in the carousel. I am assuming I need to edit the following:

var mycarousel_itemList = [
{url: 'ASLimages/StVincentsSmall.jpg', title: 'Sound System for St. Vincents Church'},
];

***AND***

function mycarousel_getItemHTML(item)
{
return ”;
};

So in the first piece of code we have references to ‘url’ (i.e. the image location) and ‘title’ (which is the alt text), I’m guessing I need a reference that can refer to a hyperlink.

Can anyone help?

The applications are REALLY nice, especially spacegallery, very sad that google search does not show these slides in search results .

An gallery script that i allways use is this one: promagallery.com , it supports multiple albums what i really like.

Handy article. I especially like SmoothGallery, can see me using this on my site in the near future!
