Automatic image rotate w/Tabs

[Tortugita]

On the http://www.marthastewart.com site there is an automatic image rotating with tabs under it that changes with the image. Also there is text on the image that is a link. This is REALLY cool and I want to do it. I’ve racked my brain and looked all over the web for this, but I do not even know what it is called!

Does anyone know how to do this or can point me to some great tutorial on it? The only catch that it has to be accessible to all (508 compliant).

Thanks for the info! How about this example at http://www.msn.com

Their rotator is not flash, but it does have automatic images, text with links, pauses on hover, next and previous links. Are there any tutorials or recommendations on something like this?

They use AJAX to decide which out of three divs (id=slide1, id=slide2, id=slide3) to have the display-property set to block. The other two gets a display: none;. Try to check out the children-markup of the div with id=infopane.

I could definitely use similar help. I’m about to try and build my first site onto the WordPress format and am wanting to do something similar as to what was mentioned above. I would like to add an automatic image rotate with tabs while giving the client capabilities to change out the photos. An example is …

This for sure is now flash, and I’m honestly not sure if this is way out of my league.

Are there any tutorials or places anyone suggest I visit to start on something like this.

Thanks so much,
