I'm putting together a simple site for a colleague (not my normal remit), which will have a basic menu, and a few contact/info pages. Nothing heavy.

He'd like to have a main image on the homepage which changes every x seconds (essentially a slideshow scrolling through images of his services) without resorting to a bit of Flash, any ideas? I'll probably add a pictogram depicting which shows which "slide" you are on too.

Google JavaScript slideshow. I don't have any particular recommendations, but that should give you a start.

Let me know how you get on, it's something I've thought I would research when I needed it, but up to now I haven't needed it!

I'd look at jQuery - I did a simple fading JPEG slideshow using a fairly simple jQuery script for a colleague's wife's website recently. Not as hard as I thought it was going to be. It just consists of one external .js file and a bit of code in the place that you want the images to appear in, listing as many JPEG files as you want.

I can fully recommend the jquery slideshow available here:

I have used it a few times, most recently on this site:
