Extension:JavascriptSlideshow

The JavascriptSlideshow extension creates a slideshow which can:
 * Create a "rotating" slideshow (i.e. one that changes from one picture to another)
 * Create stop-action animation from multiple images or multiple pieces of text

Options / attributes

 * id: The id to be given to the div containing the content. This allows you to pre-specify the id for styling purposes.  If none is specified, the id will be a randomly generated number starting with 'slideshow_' (e.g. slideshow_12345).
 * refresh: The time, in milliseconds, between transitions. The default is 1000 milliseconds (one second).
 * sequence: The sequence in which to display the content.  Must be one of the following values:
 * random: This is the default.
 * forward
 * backward


 * transition: How to transition (change) between content.  Must be one of the following values:
 * cut: A straight cut from the current content to the new content. This is the default.
 * fade: A one-second fade between the current content and the new content.
 * blindDown: The new content "rolls down" over the exising content.


 * transitiontime: The time, in milliseconds, that transitions take to complete. The default is 400 milliseconds. Increase it to make transitions slower.
 * center: if 'true', center the slideshow (only works for a slideshow of images, not text).

Tag
 This results in a div (with a randomly generated id) that randomly changed every 10 seconds between the three images specified (which happen to be wiki images).

Parser function
would result in a div (with an id of bar) that changed every second between the words Tick and Tock.
