SharePoint Featured Content Slider
So I rewrote this web part to work a little better in SharePoint 2010. I made a few minor changes and improvements. If you can think of other improvements put them in the comments. Here is the older version.
Whats new
- Added an order field to the List template to allow more control of the display order. In the list template this field is setup to require unique values.
- Re-wrote the CSS to include some new CSS3 enhancements. If you are using a newer browser the slider will look better.
- Tested across muliple browsers. See screenshots below.
The Code
Here is the XSL needed to add the web part to the page.

Hi there,
Thanx for the post, im just trying to use but where do i find the images you used?
Please reply
thanx
@Nelson the only image I used is that stock photo of the people working. I think I pulled that off of a 2007 site or a 2010 team site. I generally add the image as a attachment to the list item and then copy the URL in the image URL field.
