Javascript enhanced CSS slideshow
Minor cross-browser problems.
Appearance-flaws in a few browser-versions on Mac. No big deal – they'll hopefully
fix it in new versions of those browsers.
Adding text to an image is as easy as taking a walk in the park. 1(6)

It looks like I'm running out of space for text here. Must do something about that, I think.

Text-space definitely is a limitation. Add in a bit of font-resizing, and space-shortage quickly becomes a problem.

Based on an idea picked up at Wait til I come. Enhanced
with a script borrowed from same author, modified to go
with this particular construction.
addressing pictures:
Each image-holder has an ID, and the in-page part of the address is used by the script as first choice
– if available. Thus, we can target any particular image in the collection directly from another page.
In this demo page the IDs are “i1” through to “i6”.
on the positive side:
Pretty much the same appearance and behavior, with and without script support.
No doctype conflicts.
on the negative side:
Without script support each “previous” and “next” step through the collection becomes
“recorded history” in the browsers. This will soon become a long list of in-page visits, which may make the
back-button rather useless.
