jQuery Image Slideshow

Ever wanted or needed to make a slideshow system like you see on news websites? Here is a simple HTML/CSS/jQuery template to help give you a jumpstart. Here are some of the features:

– JSON-based input
– will handle a mixture of horizontal and vertical images of any size
– image descriptions can contain HTML tags
– navigate slides using buttons or arrow keys
– view and jump to slides visually
– automatic advance button
– shows thumbnails when hovering over slide buttons
– responsive layout (for mobile and iframe widgets. Non CSS3-based so it works in IE7 and 8)
– tested in IE8, FF, Chrome, Opera
– lightweight and easy to modify

I started working on a fullscreen mode for it, but got frustrated with the spotty browser support. I hope to eventually come back to that feature… but at any rate, here it is in 1.0 form. You can use it in your projects, but if it’s commercial, be nice and put me in the credits.
