Super Slideshows

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

With the recent uproar between Apple and Adobe over HTML5 vs. Flash, we would like to show you a few non-Flash image slideshows built with jQuery that could be implemented on your website.

Now just what is jQuery? jQuery is a fast, concise JavaScript library that simplifies HTML and animation on the web. Unlike Flash, the slideshows illustrated here are compatible with all modern browsers as well as hand-held devices, including iPhones.

Custom jQuery slideshows can also be built for specific needs that may not be shown here.
