simple.carousel

This is a simple jQuery plugin for creating sliding carousels.

Demo/Examples:

Insert following in the head part of your html page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/simple.carousel.0.3.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    // initialize carousel
    $("#carousel").simplecarousel({
        next: $('.next'),
        prev: $('.prev'),
        slidespeed: 700,
        auto: 5000,
        width: 480,
        height: 280
    });
});
</script>

This will change following html structure

<ul id="carousel">
 <li>erster Frame (z.B. ein Bild)</li>
 <li>zweiter Frame (z.B. ein Bild)</li>
 <li>dritter Frame (z.B. ein Bild)</li>
 <li>vierter Frame (z.B. ein Bild)</li>
 ...
</ul>
