You can use the HTTP-EQUIV refresh function of the <META> tag repeatedly to load a succession of pages, creating a slide-show effect in your pages, or in a different frame, or even in a popup! 

Let's say you have four documents you'd like to use as slides: slide1.html, slide2.html, slide3.html, and slide4.html. When you set up your page, have slide1.html be the document that's called by the page where you want the slide show. For example: On index.html say: "Go here to see a slideshow!" then link to
slide1.html. Next, open the slide1.html document (make sure to create it first), and add this tag near the top: 

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3;URL=slide2.html">

Next, open slide2.html, and add this near the top, and so on: 

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3;URL=slide3.html">

If you want the slide show to end with slide4.html, don't insert the 
<META HTTP-EQUIV> tag there. If you want it to loop back to the first slide, add the tag and send it to slide1.html. This sets up a slide show in one frame that switches to the next image every 3 seconds. You can of course play with that number to fit you needs.

Remember, you can use more or less than 4 slides. It doesn't matter. Just make sure to change the URL each time so it doesn't go backwards!
