Question by programmer1412: How to make an image rotator?
When you go to a popular website like HULU, most of what takes up the space is the image rotator, which shows which movies and episodes are on Hulu. I viewed the source code, but sadly it is programmed in Flash. I am not preferably a fan of flash now, because as a web designer I am unable to reach the iOS users. I know HTML, CSS, some Javascript, and basic PHP. I have not figured out a way to program an image rotator without action script. Does anyone know how to do this?
