Hey guys. I’ve got lots of little projects in the works and right now I’m releasing a very compact Slideshow plug-in  that lets you create fade-in slideshows really easily and it only takes up 820 bytes (that’s less than 1KB!).

 

I made this possible by skipping the normal routine of defining a list with elements for each of the images and instead using a JavaScript JSON array to store their locations. Why not grab it now? :)

 

Download or Demo

 

The plug-in works across Firefox 3.5, IE, Chrome and Safari and if you need some more functionality out of it, it’s not difficult to add some keyboard events or nav buttons to skip through the images using other UI elements.
