For non-Javascript animation effects you need CSS3. That means less support, especially in older browsers, but it works great when it works. Here's an example doing exactly what you describe (http://css3.bradshawenterprises.com/cfimg3/), or for more background you can read the whole thing (http://css3.bradshawenterprises.com/).
Sort of. The page that has the images cross-fading on a timer only has pieces of the code. It assumes you're starting from this earlier example (http://css3.bradshawenterprises.com/cfimg1/) and just shows what needs to be changed.

Date: 2012-01-11 06:15 pm (UTC)Okay. I may have figured that out on my own, as I was going to look over the whole exercise, but that's good to know.
