Sivakatirswami,
Thank you very much! Well done, informative and will definitely help
me.
One thing I noticed was Richard Matthewson mentioned he liked the
music as well as the picts plus your code displays how to use music
with the slideshow. But I have never heard any music even on your
latest which I clicked the automatic slide show with music which you
listed near the bottom of the page. For some reason I do not hear
any music at all.
thanks again,

that right click stuff doesn't seem to do what you would expect.
Would love the code if you make if available another way.
Nice looking pictures by the way.

OK I've been working on this every evening for a few days, tweaking
things.
I made a page with all the code.
Thanks for everyone's input, I cobbled it all together.
Updated iRev code is here:

One useful bit you will find there is an embed for driving MP3's in
almost any browser-platform: I took me hours to find that thing
and it's been tested on Mac, Windows 7 Vista, EEPC, and HP Notebook
running Windows. etc.. and so far everyone can hear the music.
No Java Script yet, but I will probably break down sooner or later.
What I love about this: I don't have to touch Flash, SWF template
XML params, Action Script, there is no back end MySQL Dbase to hold
the configurations and metadata, captions etc. (you would be
amazed at some of the overhead in some slide show frameworks!)
This CMS is the kind I like.
How simple is this and scaleable
1 folder: photos and caption files
1 iRev template file! ( I have three templates now)
1 iFrame (if you want to embed)
It allows for a) scale b) innovation c) content is not "buried"
inside a maze so deep that you can never restructure or refactor
your presentation without huge man hour overhead.
Next "invention" will be adding voice over for each slide, where
photo.jpg # is the image
photo.txt # is the caption
photo.mp3 # is the voice over.
Caveats:
1) I never liked having captions "popup" over photos (the Flash-
DHTML way) on the other hand I'm not sure I like scrolling divs
(overflow css) with such a fat scroller on an HTML page, but it works.
2) without Javascript there are no transitions. But I'm working on
the principle that "it's not the bells and whistles... its the
content! If you have high quality [images, sound, video, music]
then your viewers really don't care about the wrapper too much.
3) I'm still fishing for the "right rect" and worry that I may be
making things a bit too big for the steadily growing world of small
devices/screens.
