I'm having trouble finding a simple jquery image swap. Most the examples I've found are more complex than I need, and do things I don't want.
Objective: I have 5 images I want to fade in, slide in, or etc. I would love to fade/dissolve from one image to the next, but slide would be fine too. When the page 1st loads, I want the 1st image to show for 4 seconds...then fade to the next image, 4 seconds, then the next, etc. Infinite loop.
Currently my code is a simple image swap, not very elegant:
document.getElementById("imgMain").src = "images/yurt/sleigh.png";
What's the best and simplest way to accomplish this?
Working example on jsFiddle.
Here's the code:
HTML
<div class="fadein">
<img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8359/8450229021_9d660578b4_n.jpg">
<img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8510/8452880627_0e673b24d8_n.jpg">

<img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8329/8447290659_02c4765928_n.jpg">
</div>
CSS
.fadein {
position:relative;
height:320px;
width:320px;
}
.fadein img {
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
}
JavaScript
$('.fadein img:gt(0)').hide();
setInterval(function () {
$('.fadein :first-child').fadeOut()
.next('img')
.fadeIn()
.end()
.appendTo('.fadein');
}, 4000); // 4 seconds
