rotating images like on Amazon.com

[travels]

On the main page of Amazon, there is a rotating image of books (like a carousel).

As an Amazon marketplace bookseller, I want a similar function to highlight my own selection of books in different categories, which when clicked go to another web page.

Unless you want the more complicated Flash version, which details you in taking 4 EXACT images of each book in different angles to make one photo, etc...

I would stick to something like this ;)

Thanks. Looks ok, but really looking for something more professional like on the main page of Amazon where the books rotate in a Flash carousel.

Then that would be Flash. :)

Sorry I didn't post this earlier. I found the script you are looking for... cartoonsmart.com (http://www.cartoonsmart.com/carousel.html)

There is an opensource solution that utilizes a combination AJAX and XML. Unfortunately I've lost all of my bookmarks and can't find it again.

I will bump for the cause.

How would ajax and xml create something that can only be done as client interaction, meaning one of two things: javascript, or some sort of applet/plugin, most likely flash (or java applet)?

Hello,
I just found a decent site with some ideas for what you're looking for. I was looking for a similar solution for a site.
Anyhow, check out
http://www.ajaxrain.com and do a search for 'carousel'
it brings up some good results including the one above and various javascript options. Now, the trick for me will be to integrate one of these with a database.
