Slideshow with blur and transparency effect
This free elegant JavaScript adds a double transition effect to your slideshows. It combines a bluring effect with an opacity effect. Crossbrowser. Internet Explorer 5x/6x/7x/8x/9x and Firefox 2x/3x, Opera 7x/8x/9x/10x/11x and Google Chrome 3x/4x/5x/6x/7x/8x/9x.

Configuration:

Step 1: Open your webpage and paste the following code anywhere between <body> and </body>:

<style>
.textstyle {
	/* style attributes for the comments */
	font-family:Arial;
	font-size:8pt;
	color:#aaaaaa;
	background-color:#FFFFFF;
	text-align:center;
	vertical-align:middle;
}
.boxstyle{
	/* style attributes for the slideshow-box */
	overflow:hidden;
	border-style:solid;
	border-width:1px;
	border-color:white;

/* shadow for Firefox */
	-moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 8px #AAAAAA;

/* shadow for Safari and Chrome */
	-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 8px #AAAAAA;

/* shadow for Opera */
	box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #AAAAAA;

/* shadow for Internet Explorer */
	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=5, Direction=135, Color='#AAAAAA');
}
</style>

document.write("</div")

window.onload=sharpen

</script>

Step 2: Configure the text-style and boxstyle on top of the code (within the style-tags). Then go on top of the script code and configure the images, the messages, the links, the width and the height of the slideshow.
