I think this is what you are looking for. They say it goes with Joomla, but you can modify it to work with anything.</p> <p><a href="http://www.frontpageslideshow.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.frontpageslideshow.net/</a> </p> http://drawar.com/design/notes/11007/p/1/#response-105860 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 01:04:03 Majorchamp 105860 <p>Hey Binary,</p> <p>Yea, that is very close...only different is automating it to rotate, but you are spot on.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Bryan </p> http://drawar.com/design/notes/11007/p/1/#response-104712 Sat, 05 Jan 2008 03:54:44 BinaryMoon 104712 <p>Not quite the same but I have something similar running on the homepage of <a href="http://www.binaryjoy.co.uk/">Binary Joy</a>.</p> <p>FWIW I didn't use any libraries or frameworks and got it running in no more than 40 lines or so (that's a guess - I haven't counted the lines).</p> <p>Oh yeah - I also did something similar at work - <a href="http://www.miniclip.com/">Miniclip.com</a> </p> http://drawar.com/design/notes/11007/p/1/#response-104700 Sat, 05 Jan 2008 01:18:49 Majorchamp 104700 <p>I think you guys are missing the point. I am wanting to "see" live demos/examples people have done.</p> <p>I realize it wouldn't be that hard to do code wise, but I want to see the creativity people have used before with it.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://drawar.com/design/notes/11007/p/1/#response-104685 Fri, 04 Jan 2008 23:08:15 Mike 104685 <p>This doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to emulate. Basically do a setTimeout (length is the interval between switches) that initiates a function to de-highlight all tabs and then highlight the current tab, then fade the main image out and fade another image in. Probably like 20 lines of code total if you're using Prototype/Script.aculo.us. </p> http://drawar.com/design/notes/11007/p/1/#response-104679 Fri, 04 Jan 2008 22:11:54 Majorchamp 104679 <p>kind of...but not quite. </p> http://drawar.com/design/notes/11007/p/1/#response-104659 Fri, 04 Jan 2008 17:28:53 seopher 104659 <p>Have a look at <a href="http://www.lussoluxury.com">LussoLuxury.com</a>, that has something similar, although I think he's using an iFrame. is that the behaviour you're on about? </p> http://drawar.com/design/notes/11007/p/1/#response-104622 Fri, 04 Jan 2008 08:04:35 Majorchamp 104622 <p>Hey everyone,</p> <p>This is driving me crazy. I have seen the effect on multiple homepages, but the effect I am after is when there is a slideshow of sorts on a homepage and there is an indicator that toggles through each 'story" on a timed basis, so maybe showing each one every 3-5 seconds.</p> <p><a href="http://www.golf.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.golf.com/</a> does this, but its not the look I have seen. The ideal look is where there is a large image with some form of a giant arrow to the right of image and you can tell there are extra sections it will be looping through on a timed basis. Think of it like this image</p> <p><img src="http://btk.name/misc/slideshow.png" alt="Slideshow example" /> </p>
