Featured Content Slider makes a SlideShow out of arbitrary content on your page, so users can manually select a content to see or have them rotated automatically. Each content is defined simply inline on the page as regular HTML, or altogether inside a single external file and fetched via Ajax instead. Where this script shines is the versatile pagination links interface, which can be customized in a variety of ways. You may have such a script on the frontpage of sites such as Rottentomatoes and Gamespot, though the difference is that Featured Content Slider is Flash free!
And with the introduction out of the way, here's a listing of Featured Content Slider v2.0's features:
Supports Two Ways of embedding the contents to feature- plain HTML contained inside DIV tags, or altogether in a single external file on your server, then fetched via Ajax.
"Manual" or "auto" display mode- For the later, the slider automatically rotates the contents until the user explicitly selects a content to view (clicks anywhere inside Featured Content slider).
Optional fade effect to be applied each time the content changes.
Extremely customizable pagination links. You can either have the script automatically generate them, or manually define arbitrary links that with a specific CSS class name added, tells the script that this is a pagination link.
Specify whether the contents should be revealed "click" or "mouseover" over the pagination links. Default is former. v2.3 feature
Call the function featuredcontentslider.JumpTo() anywhere on your page to jump to a particular slide within a particular Content Slider instance. v2.3 feature
Ability to select a particular slide when the page first loads using a URL parameter (ie: mypage.htm?myslider=4). v2.4 feature
Cookies are used to remember and recall the last content viewed by the user when they return to the page.
