Using moo.fx and prototype.lite.js, this javascript slideshow system allows you to have a simple and smooth (cross-fading…) image slideshows and/or showcases on you website.

Why consider it instead of Flash ?

• Let’s imagine you want to add a showcase of your last products, or even a showcase of one product on your homepage. Would you want to restrict it only to the users who have Flash enabled ?
• Another important point is the fact that using this script, you will have fully standard compliant web pages (which is important for accessibility, for example).

Wow cool ! How much does it costs ?

Nothing, this library is open-source, GPL licensed to be precise.

On what browsers does it run ?

Since it’s based on moo.fx library, it’s somehow platform agnostic. I have fully tested it on:

• Firefox
• Opera
• Internet Explorer v6

Where can I find it and how to install it ?
