This site uses two tidy little pieces of code. The slideshow function is Slideshow2 by Aeron Glemann. It’s a lovely little piece of code that I found easy to implement.

“Slideshow is a javascript class for Mootools 1.2 to stream and animate the presentation of images on your website. Slideshow is the result of many trials in code attempting to create a javascript class that was lightweight, unobtrusive, a snap to setup (but also highly configurable), extendable and - built using the javascript framework with the best effects - visually very impressive.”

Slideshow uses a modified version of lightbox by Lokesh Dhakar. Another fantastic piece of code. It’s easy to see why that has become so popular on web.

Developers like these, with their open source altruism, really make the internet sing.
