Switch images at timed interval

Is there a way to switch images at a specificed interval without using
flash? I have a page that has a photo in the center and I'd like to to
cycle through 10 other photos every 5 seconds (without using
rollovers). Can this be done with javascript or CSS? If so, I'd
appreciate it if someone had a page with instructions I could
reference. Thanks

Don't know about CSS but there are many ways to do it. This page includes a
few using JavaScript slide shows:

If you have a hi-speed connection, go to:

http://www.neredbojias.com/

....and check out the slideshow. Any number of images, random display, no
repeats per cycle. Image-completion check except in Gecko (because their
javascript is demented.) Javascript.

I disabled the ss on dial-up 'cause the images are high quality but not
quite worth the prolonged loading-time.

I have a simple example using JavaScript you are welcome to copy

http://www.tidraso.co.uk/photos/k5zv6x84/

Not tested on IE. The "Slide Show" button goes through the images at 5
second intervals.

Slide shows have been very popular over the years, and there have been
a huge number of variations. You have been given a few examples by
others. Go to http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/index.html to
see about 18 other examples. These are free to copy and use so long as
you leave credit in the code - the owner of the site can get a little
testy if you remove credit and he finds out about it. Most have been
updated to work on recent IE, Opera, and Mozilla family browsers such
as Firefox. There are also demos of most so you can see if you like
the effect.

Why without Flash? It would probably be the best solution, I know it
would give you the most options.

http://www.cryer.co.uk/resources/jav...2slideshow.htm has proven
to be quite popular, but as you know from the response of others there are
no shortage of javascript slide shows.

Flash probably is a better way of going, because it will work even if the
visitor has JavaScript turned off. I'm currently working on a Flash
equivalent to the above link, but its not yet ready for public release.

I can think of one good reason, not a pro and doesn't want to pony up
the bucks for a apps to produce a flash animation for one application.

Where is this slideshow? Cannot find the link in your menu. Curious of
how your are ticking off displayed images that Gecko cannot handle it...

As to the "bucks," dilemma, there has been a sconce of relief in that
direction: http://www.openlaszlo.org/

These animations do not appear any faster downloading for the poor
visitor than any other flash animation, however. For a plain slide show
with pauses, I still prefer javascript backed up by a<noscript>
alternative, if I cannot avoid a slide show altogether (thumbnails are
better, usually). Flash is better saved for kids games and scientific
illustrations of quantum mechanics and such.
