Allen, I've never see a slide show application that does what you want to do short of a WebEx or Windows NetMeeting presentation.
The rough approach I would take to your problem would be: 1) Create authentication code to determine slide show viewer or presenter 2) Create code to display the current slide as determined by a value in a flat text file or database 3) Create code to update the flat file or database to set the current slide (slide control buttons only visible to the presenter) 4) Create code to refresh the slide display page if there is a change in the flat file or database Most likely you'd populate an array with the slides in the order you want them shown and page back and forth through the array with the slide control buttons. I'm a Network Administrator that sometimes wears the intermediate web programmer hat and this would undoubtedly be the simple approach to this issue. I'm sure there's some AJAX method of doing this in the way that you describe, but that's beyond my current skill set.
