Here\'s what I have (all generated dynamically, if that makes a difference) :
Here's one that looks pretty nice and is written in jQuery: Photo Slider
And here is another which I like a bit better: Galleria
http://bradblogging.com/jquery/9-jquery-slideshow-applications-you-cannot-miss/
A page with 9 different photo slideshows in jQuery ready to use
Most of the answers here are like shooting a fly with a canon !!
$('#thumbs img').click(function(){
$('#largeImage').attr('src',$(this).attr('src').replace('thumb','large'));
$('#description').html($(this).attr('alt'));
});
this is all you need .. 4 lines of code .
look here : gallery-in-4-lines
Try Galleriffic, it has everything you need.
Check out my galleria implementation: Garden design Landscaper in Essex Gallery
A lot of these scripts are out of date and don't work for me plus require a set of different images for thumbnails. I had a serious hunt around and found something very light which is plain js, no need for jquery.
