I've seen this image slider on the front page of http://www.ibm.com/us/en/ and I want to have one like that for my site. (After a timeout, the first image slides out of the screen, then the second image flies out after it, and then a new pair fly in).
I've seen that IBM uses Dojo not jQuery. Is this built in effect in dojo?
I have knowledge in javascript (but not any library like jQuery/dojo) and I can make it myself the hard-way. But I wanted to know first if there is anything built in to do it?
I think you might be better off with dojox.widget.Rotator or even dojox.widget.AutoRotator.
The image slider on the IBM.com front page is built using Dojo, but not a out-of-box component of Dojo library. It's a customized component.
If you want to create image sliders using Dojo, take a look at existing out-of-box components in DojoX library (dojox.image). dojox.image.SlideShow is a good starting point.

Use case:
A web page where the user is presented with several cards containing text. The user can classify the cards by dragging them to one of four containers. The cards should then snap into place, and the container should display a counter with the number of cards it contains.
The app is based on Rails, but this obviuosly needs to be done in JavaScript. The content of the cards is read and written to the server through a JSON API.
I know basic JS, CSS and HTML 5, but I hope someone can point me in the right direction when it comes to implementing this. For instance:
Should I use HTML 5 canvas?
Is there a JS library that will make the implementation easier?
If you can use make it without canvas, by using simple jQuery code.
Take a look at jQuery UI (https://jqueryui.com), especially at Draggable and Droppable.
So in Silverlight I've seen an app that had 4 windows together in a box shape. When you click on a window, the windows will rotate to the upper right corner and enlarge while the other 3 shrunk. Then if you click on the enlarged window again, all the windows would go back to their normal size. Now I know all of that can be done in Silverlight (w/XAML and Expression Blend). But what would I use in the HTML/CSS/JS libraries to get the same effect.
Another way of putting it is: if you wanted to have a website with heavy UI razzle-dazzle efects what HTML/CSS/JS libraries would you use or recommend?
You should be able to get a fair approximation of this type of functionality using the jquery UI layout plugin. You will have to write some of your own javascript to get it to do exactly what you mention above, but the framework is definitely there

They have a great page with a lot of good demos to look at.
Take a look at jQuery/jQueryUI. It is commonly used to manipulate DOM and has lots of adding. One of them be what you're looking for.
I want an image slider similar to what is shown in the link below.
http://blog.dreamcss.com/wp-content/uploads/example/
I have customized the script to my needs but I'm not able to find a way to change the image transition effect, rather than moving image from right to left I want image to dissolve & show other image that would make this script really code. I am open to new jQuery based Image Effect Slider/Gallery With similar look. This is the client's request so the design will remain same.
I would appreciate if i can change the image effect or if some one can provide me link for similar image slider.
I have to use this with ASP.Net and possible modify this script to integrated with database using c#
Thanks in Advance..
I use Flex slider http://flex.madebymufffin.com/ , it is very customisable and lightweight and should do what you want
Take a look at these Javascript Image and Photo Galleries. I would recommend using the existing APIs provided by these script libraries using JSON to pass data to the client from the server as opposed to modifying the script -- keeps it simple.
Alternatively, you could look at some of the stuff on CodePlex: Image Gallery if you wanted a server control to use with your solution.
I'm looking for a jQuery version of the Dynamic Drive slideshow here
I have used the jQuery cycle plug in many times, but want to display more than one image at a time in a continuous scroll. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Why do you need it to be jQuery? The one you post the link to is in Javascript which is just as crossplatform and crossbrowser as a jQuery one would be.
I have had a cursory look for any jQuery implementations anyway, but like you say, most people seem to just display one image at a time in their image carousels/slideshows.
Is there a simple plugin or some robust code that would allow me to animate PNGs with a simple start and stop method? TSM, Alex.
[Edit: I made a jQuery plugin that animates PNGs. Will post when it's all done.]
While this is not an "off-the-shelf" plugin, you may be intrested in checking out the following tutorial:
Building an Animated Cartoon Robot with jQuery
It uses PNG images for all the layers. It explains how to implement a startHim() method, which I'm sure you'll be able to convert into a stopHim(). You may probably be able to skim through it, unless you are trying to do something similar.
