I need a slideshow. In the folder F1 I placed say 5 images named a1.jpg, a2.jpg, ... a5.jpg. In the folder F2 I have different number of images but with the same names (a1.jpg, .....). Having a lot of folders, I wish to create a slideshow to play all the images within a folder I select. Probable a JavaScript would be able to do it. I wish to write a single script, not one for each folder. Can somebody help me?

The easiest way to create a slide show using just html is to use a meta tag.

If you add this tag to the <head> section of your html file...

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=image2.htm">

The "content" value is the number of seconds that this page displays for and the "url" value is the page to go to next.

It sounds great. I will save your answer and use it with other occasion. But now I have just images to swap, not html files. Having a lot of images, I don’t intend to create a html document for each one.
Thank you for your answer. I will search in other forums (with web design orientation).

If you have a lot of images, you might try using something like Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=index). This will help you arrange your images and will play slideshows.
