Tutorial Simple Auto-Playing Slideshow
HTML
Wrapper with div's as the "slides", which can contain any content.
<div id="slideshow">
<div>
<img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5224/5658667829_2bb7d42a9c_m.jpg">
</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
Pretty cool eh? This slide is proof the content can be anything.

</div>CSS
Slides need to be absolutely positioned within the wrapper. This has a tiny bit of extra pizazz:
#slideshow {
margin: 50px auto;
position: relative;
width: 240px;
height: 240px;
padding: 10px;
box-shadow: 0 0 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
}
#slideshow > div {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
right: 10px;
bottom: 10px;
}jQuery JavaScript
Run after DOM is ready.
$("#slideshow > div:gt(0)").hide();
setInterval(function() {
$('#slideshow > div:first')
.fadeOut(1000)
.next()
.fadeIn(1000)
.end()
.appendTo('#slideshow');
}, 3000);See it
