Hi, in this tutorial i will show how to make a JQuery Photo Slider with Semi Transparent Caption!

Create a new html page, and in the head tag insert this code: 

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.3.1.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {

//Execute the slideShow

slideShow();

});

function slideShow() {

//Set the opacity of all images to 0

$('#gallery a').css({opacity: 0.0});

//Get the first image and display it (set it to full opacity)

$('#gallery a:first').css({opacity: 1.0});

//Set the caption background to semi-transparent

$('#gallery .caption').css({opacity: 0.7});

//Resize the width of the caption according to the image width

$('#gallery .caption').css({width: $('#gallery a').find('img').css('width')});

//Get the caption of the first image from REL attribute and display it

$('#gallery .content').html($('#gallery a:first').find('img').attr('rel'))

.animate({opacity: 0.7}, 400);

//Call the gallery function to run the slideshow, 6000 = change to next image after 6 seconds

setInterval('gallery()',6000);

}

function gallery() {

//if no IMGs have the show class, grab the first image

var current = ($('#gallery a.show')?  $('#gallery a.show') : $('#gallery a:first'));

//Get next image, if it reached the end of the slideshow, rotate it back to the first image

var next = ((current.next().length) ? ((current.next().hasClass('caption'))? $('#gallery a:first') :current.next()) : $('#gallery a:first'));

//Get next image caption

var caption = next.find('img').attr('rel');

//Set the fade in effect for the next image, show class has higher z-index

next.css({opacity: 0.0})

.addClass('show')

.animate({opacity: 1.0}, 1000);

//Hide the current image

current.animate({opacity: 0.0}, 1000)

.removeClass('show');

//Set the opacity to 0 and height to 1px

$('#gallery .caption').animate({opacity: 0.0}, { queue:false, duration:0 }).animate({height: '1px'}, { queue:true, duration:300 });

//Animate the caption, opacity to 0.7 and heigth to 100px, a slide up effect

$('#gallery .caption').animate({opacity: 0.7},100 ).animate({height: '100px'},500 );

//Display the content

$('#gallery .content').html(caption);

}

</script>

<link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /> 

In the body tag insert the code wich links images folder with html page:

<div id="gallery">
