jQuery jFlow

jFlow is a widget to make your content slides. One popular alternative that exists out there is coda-slider. jFlow is super lightweight because it is only 1.9kb minified!!!.

$("#myController").jFlow({
    slides: "#mySlides",
    width: "99%",
    height: "200px",
    duration: 400
});

Explanation:

#myController: the div where all the slide controller are nested in
slides:  the div where all your sliding divs are nested in (note: you can define classes for each div inside slides)
width: can be specified in px or % (required)
height: can be specified in px (required)
duration: time in miliseconds to transition one slide (optional, default is 400)

2 divs created by jFlow as containers, you can style them to your liking

#jFlowSlide: This is the container where all the slides reside
.jFlowSelected: This is the current activated controller

Special div definition

.jFlowPrev: Any element with this class will transition to previous slide upon clicking
.jFlowNext: Any element with this class will transition to next slide upon clicking
.jFlowControl: Any element inside the controlling div with this class will map to the corresponding slide

Example

<script language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#myController").jFlow({
        slides: "#mySlides",
        width: "99%",
        height: "200px",
        duration: 400
    });
});
