What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A jQuery plugin for creating image and element slideshows with many transition effects and options like pause-on-hover, auto-stop, and callbacks. It is the predecessor to Cycle2 and is no longer actively maintained.
Use cases
- create an image slideshow with fade transitions
- add a rotating banner carousel to a webpage
- cycle through HTML content slides with shuffle or zoom effects
- build a slideshow with pause-on-hover and click navigation
- add transition effects to a jQuery-based site
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy jQuery 1.7+ codebase that already uses Cycle
- you need a simple, dependency-free jQuery slideshow with many transition effects
When to avoid
- starting a new modern project - use Cycle2 or a framework-native carousel instead
- you are not using jQuery
- you need maintained software with a license and active support
