javascript image slideshow (jquery or YUI)

Question

I am looking for a javascript based image slideshow solution. Requirements I received:

• A few images are added to the slideshow, and it fades one image after another and then starts again from the first image
• There should be a navigation in order to manually go to the next / previous image
• There should be the option to pause the slideshow and continue again

Can the jquery cycle plugin handle these? Are there any alternatives for the YUI 2 framework?

Answer 1

Jquery Cycle plugin can definiately handle this. Check out this page of examples for more details.

Answer 2

The YUI Carousel component seems like a good fit:

Answer 3

Take a look at the great Lightbox Clones Matrix. It's mainly based around ones which open in a div above your content, but many offer slideshow capabilities. Just use the checkboxes in the top right to filter to what you want.

Answer 4

For YUI 3:
