Some help to Identify what it is i actually need please.

Hi All,

Quick question, i want to add something to my page, but sadly i dont know what its called so im struggling to find it.

Basicly, it looks like a Javascript app, STEAM has one, it cycles thru adverts for thier games, it has a delay on the 'tick' over

and if you hover your mouse over a scroll button it will automaticly skip to the next one..

I want to add something like this to my site to advertise products that are on offer.. if anyone can tell me what its called, and let me know if its flash or JS? and hints for easy implementation would be great!

thanks all

Martin

Well, the Steam home page has a Flash based slideshow.  But you can also do similar effects with plain JavaScript and CSS.  I would say that the general term for what you are looking for is a slideshow though.  There is actually a post in this forum a little earlier about an extension to dreamweaver to do a slideshow, but that particular SPRY extension doesn't seem to be available yet.

Maybe try the Ken Burns Slideshow on the exchange:

or phatfusion slideShow

or Bookflip

Here is a link to the exchange search for all slideshows, any where the button is "download" may be free:

I would suggest getting an extension because you saidyou wanted something easily implemented, and extensions are usually easier than trying to integrate code from some other web site.
