Scrolling Banner Image Carousel (Dartmouth College)

Body

Introduction

Create a banner with a series of optionally click-able images that can be navigated via forward/back arrows.  The carousel loads the first image and displays it statically, but once the forward arrow has been clicked, the carousel begins automatically rotating the images.

This module was originally designed by Dartmouth College.
