I'm looking for a recommendation for a simple to use fading slideshow module.  I have a banner area across the top of my page that I would like to fade between images and add links to the images to that a click would get you to a page with more info.  Free is preferred, but I am willing to pay for the right module.

I tried a jquery slideshow and the performance was very slow.  My banner is 950x220 so the images are pretty large.

Thanks

Engage Rotator is a commercial modules that will do this.

You might want to have a look at the free modules from Will Strohl and Oliver Hine.

Ultra Media Gallery is another choice.

Thanks.  I got a jquery cycle to work except that my dropdown menu drops behind the slideshow.  Can be seen here http://dnncefcnj.cdmeyer.com/Home.aspx

Any ideas on how to fix this?  I used the header of the module for the script and the content of the module for a table with a div and images.

Thanks

You need to use z-index to the all of the menu and submenu items to appear on top of the slideshow.

If you add z-index:10 as an attribute to .MainMenu_MenuSubStyles, that will do the trick. 

There may be a better place to add the z-index, but this works.

If you are wondering how I figured that out, look at this tutorial for skin troubleshooting techniques: Troubleshooting DotNetNuke Skins

that did it.  thanks a lot.
