how to create box with sliding linked images

Where can I read more about creating linked slides like at the top of nytimes.com, slate.com, yahoo.com, nyu.edu, et开发者_JS百科c. I assume it's javascript, but I'm not sure what it's called, so I'm not sure how to look it up. I want to create a box at the top of a website with blocks of html text which slide in sequence if the user clicks next or after a certain amount of time.

Where can I read more about this?

The jquery cycle plugin is exactly what you are looking for. http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/

Specifically, checkout the advanced demos with paging.

If you want to use Javascript then you can use jcarousel and then animate the carousel with setTimeout

But you really need to know some javascript to do this
