Hi, All.

I'm about to start building a page that has a slideshow running behind a tinted panel with text: http://www.commonsensedesign.net/extranet/colour/visuals/01-index-01d.shtml. The panel in this example shows the text headed "Quality plants...". The text won't change, only the picture of flowers in the background.

Can anyone suggest suitable code for this, please?

Hi Nigel,

There are a lot of different jquery slide show scripts out there. I don't think I've used one personally that does exactly what you're looking for, but I'm sure it's out there.

Here's a link with some options that might help get you started:

Hope this helps.

Hi Nigel,

I used to use slideshowpro, but because of Iphone/iPad issues with flash I've recently been using Slideshow with good results:

I've found that this is extremely flexible;
