I'd probably opt for something even simpler - this will show a slide
for five seconds, then move on to the next. No programming needed:
html
head
META
The META tag has a refresh parameter which automatically switches to
slide2.html after 5 seconds.

Or, folder mySlideShow which contains e.g. 5 .jpg files, for the slide
show what

The html file is a wrapper for the image file. In this technique, each JPG
has an associated HTML file.
If you have five JPGs,
picture1.jpg
picture2.jpg
picture3.jpg
picture4.jpg
picture5.jpg
then you would create five HTML files...
index.html
slide2.html
slide3.html
slide4.html
slide5.html

Sivakatirswami,
AJAX vs. iframes really depends a lot on your needs, but besides buzz-
word compliance there are some advantages to AJAX:
1) The request is asynchronous, which has the advantages that:
a) You can display your own loading messages easily
b) You can manage your own
And as for Flash - you dont need the development environment. You can
download one of the various flash files that will play the slide show and
just use it - you can even use open source (Lazlo) free server side Flash
generation if you really needed to - but for most of your needs Id guess
you
I really think forgetting Java for this is clear. A standard one off flash
or AJAX solution with variable data passed to it via a Rev based backed
seems solid to me. Of course it could be any programming language not just
Rev, but there is absolutely no reason not to use a Rev stack based cgi.

Oh, yes, this is very interesting indeed: I've just start using stacks

The script still has to be adjusted for Non MSIE browsers, current version

Which is exactly why I went to pure HTML at the time (7 years ago).
Browser compatibility was even worse then.
There is an alternative with javascript using properties of image tag. It

I guess it depends how good you want it to look i the browser. If you want
really good results you need to use one of the open source DHTML or Flash

Yes, I used this technique for years with my slide shows for CSN, etc.
Works great. No server side stuff at all. I used Hypercard to create
the HTML text files to drive this.
example:

I used this system until Open Source app Gallery got real good.
