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? 
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.
Hey Addy, it looks really good, but am I the only one getting a weird 1px “drop” after the transition effect? The image fades in smoothly, but once fully visible it seems to shift to the right and down by 1 pixel. Very odd. I’m running Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3.

Hi there. The 1px drop after the transition is actually due to the size of the images. One of them in the sequence is 1px smaller than the others. It’s a small oversight but thanks for catching it! I’ll include a fix in the next release
