Really Simple(TM) Slideshow

Yet another slideshow plugin for jQuery! This particular one loads images dynamically, as and when they're required by the slideshow, allowing you to create larger slideshows without having to pre-load all of the images.

Include rsf-slideshow-1.0.js in your document, then initialise a slideshow like this:

$('#my-slidshow-div').rsfSlideshow();

Please see docs for information about adding slides, and the correct HTML markup.
