What slideshow script is 'tumblr.com' using? [closed]

Question

The url is like below. http://www.tumblr.com/

On the main page, you can see 3 images keep rotating, which I first thought was a swf, actually is not. They are the images each in <li> tag.

Is there any script out there that can do this? If then, what is it?

Answer 1

Not sure about the Tumblr but you can use jQuery Cycle plugin to create a lot of effects if you want.

Answer 2

In the source they import the file prototype_and_effects.js so they are most likely using the Prototype Framework (a popular alternative to jQuery) and script.aculo.us for the rotating banner effect, which is also included in that file.

Check out their effects demo page for examples and documentation.
