Fade-in slideshow

I would like to create a fade-in slideshow for a homepage. No forward, back,
play and pause buttons - just a simple slideshow of 3 images shown in rotation
with a gentle fade effect. I'm looking at the pros and cons of; animated gifs,
Flash, CSS (though not sure my CSS is up to this yet), and javascript. Does
anyone have any recommendations?

You might find one here you like (free):

or

which will give you loads of options

Use either Flash, JavaScript or JQuery. CSS won't do this.

I used some JS for this: http://www.acspecialprojects.com/

I used the previous version of this:
http://slideshowjs.com/blog/2009/01/29/slideshow-js-20-released/

It was very easy to implement, and now has many more features. It uses
the Scriptaculous Javascript library, as used by Lightbox JS, which is
why I used it on this site.
