jQuery: Making a slideshow

To begin you need to download two files:

jquery.js
jcycle.js

Once you have the files, you must place the following lines of code inside the tag <head>

<script language="JavaScript" src="path/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="path/jcycle.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

To create the SlideShow we must create the following code, indicating the images we use, this code must be inside the tag <body>
Code Sample:

<div id="slideShow">
<img src="path/img1.jpg" alt="Image 1" />
<img src="path/img2.jpg" alt="Image 2" />
<img src="path/img3.jpg" alt="Image 3" />
</div/>

Also in the tag <body> we put the code of the animation.
Example of animation with FADE transition:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#slideShow').cycle({fx:'fade',
sync: 0
});
});
</script>

We can use the following types of transition: fade, zoom, scrollDown ou shuffle. You can check the four types of transition by clicking Here.
