I am just starting out learning some HTML and javascript (read: I know practically nothing about this stuff) and would like to have my index.html page open a rotating image
To turn your fancybox into a slideshow once it opens, without extra buttons, use the "onComplete" option to set a timer to call "next()". For example:
jQuery("a.fancybox").fancybox({
"onComplete":function() {
clearTimeout(jQuery.fancybox.slider);
jQuery.fancybox.slider=setTimeout("jQuery.fancybox.next()",5000);
}
});
