HTML Slideshow plugin - slideshow

Question

I am making a website with some screenshots of an iPhone app I made and was wondering if there was some kind of slideshow thing for HTML. I want it to have the iPhone frame and the slideshow with the screenshots in the middle of it. I would prefer it to be written in something other than flash.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I'm a fan of the Nivo Slider, personally. Requires jQuery.

Answer 2

This needs HTML, CSS and Javascript. This is not my own answer but is derived from https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_slideshow.asp.
For a slideshow that will change picture on button click
var slideIndex = 1;
showSlides(slideIndex);
// Next/previous controls
function plusSlides(n) {
showSlides(slideIndex += n);
}
// Thumbnail image controls
function currentSlide(n) {
showSlides(slideIndex = n);
}
function showSlides(n) {
var i;
var slides = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides");
var dots = document.getElementsByClassName("dot");
if (n > slides.length) {slideIndex = 1}
if (n < 1) {slideIndex = slides.length}
for (i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) {
slides[i].style.display = "none";
}
for (i = 0; i < dots.length; i++) {
dots[i].className = dots[i].className.replace(" active", "");
}
slides[slideIndex-1].style.display = "block";
dots[slideIndex-1].className += " active";
}

For an automatic slideshow
var slideIndex = 0;
showSlides();
function showSlides() {
var i;
var slides = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides");
for (i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) {
slides[i].style.display = "none";
}
slideIndex++;
if (slideIndex > slides.length) {slideIndex = 1}
slides[slideIndex-1].style.display = "block";
setTimeout(showSlides, 2000); // Change image every 2 seconds
