how to create box with sliding linked images - language-agnostic

Where can I read more about creating linked slides like at the top of nytimes.com, slate.com, yahoo.com, nyu.edu, etc. I assume it's javascript, but I'm not sure what it's called, so I'm not sure how to look it up. I want to create a box at the top of a website with blocks of html text which slide in sequence if the user clicks next or after a certain amount of time.
Where can I read more about this?

The jquery cycle plugin is exactly what you are looking for.

Specifically, checkout the advanced demos with paging.

If you want to use Javascript then you can use jcarousel and then animate the carousel with setTimeout
But you really need to know some javascript to do this

how to simulate page transition animations in a browser (similar to page swipe in mobile)?

I have a webpage that shows an image gallery for the current week, and I have a top bar navigation "prev" and "next" links to cycle through the galleries. Currently clicking on the links causes a whole page refresh. I think the user experience would be smoother if, when we click "next" we animate a slide-in of the next page content from right to left, and vice versa, if we click "prev" we animate the previous week of results from left to right (similar to how page transitions work in a mobile app when you swipe). Note, I do not need to detect actual swipe gestures and I think jquery mobile markup is overkill.
To preload the data that will be sliding in I can make an ajax call, or even have the data preloaded in json for me to construct the replacement html off screen. I will use html5 window history push state to change the url to the actual location we will be navigating to. The only thing I haven't been able to find is to do the actual animation. I have looked into carousels, but none of them quite do what I want. Is there an existing library that handles just the animation of page transition, having that slight recoil bounce effect?
Thanks.
EDIT: I just found jquery.animate which I think might do the trick.
There are any number of jQUery based image gallery libraries that you might want to choose from. If you can't find one to transition between different galleries teh way you want to, it should not be a problem to use jQuery to asynchronously load new galleries and then animate them into place.

Website - how to make an info button for images

I was wondering how you on a website make an info button for images. Like after you click the info button, there is a box beside the mouse telling you what image your mouse is hovering over. This would be for this website: http://108.171.192.123:8123/ . I want (on the click of a button) for it to tell you what block is what.
Note:
- the several images can't be made into a bit map
- any code snippets that might help are useful
- any website language I will accept (e.g. I can learn it if I need to).
- huge thanks to those who answer.
- the website is a map of my minecraft server (it will be blank ATM tho)
Dynamic MouseOver effects are achived by using JavaScript. I would recommend to learn jQuery, a widley used JavaScript library, which allows to animate your static html.

Dynamic Elements in JSP?

I am wondering how to create dynamic elements in a JSP webpage? For example, what I want to do is that I have a Selection Box, in which a user selects an image. Upon clicking a button (or possibly after selecting an item), the image will 'slide down' (like how PPT slides slide down when changing slides) and rest on the center of the screen.
Or at least another simpler case would be, when clicking a button, a text box will appear each time you click the button. So far, the only idea I have of this is by using visibility but that will limit me.
Can you help me on how to do these things or if it is possible to do these with only JSP? Additionally, is it possible for elements to 'pop up' (like in facebook photo viewer) without refreshing the page?
Thank you!
You want things to happen on the client, so you need to be focusing on the HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The fact you generate the HTML using JSP is irrelevant.
Build on things that work
Write JS logic for adding new content based on the form options
Write JS logic for manipulating the CSS to do the animation
Consider using a library such as YUI or jQuery to help with the JS, and using CSS 3 Transitions for the animation.

Load page content in another page

Take a look at the signup section over here:

Can you explain me please how can that moving box have been created?
Thank you
I believe if what your talking about is the box that shows up when you click on the login but, that is called lightbox. It's Javascript & Jquery that gets whatever content you want and makes a "frame" that overlays the rest of your page. There are lots of pre-made plugins witch if you want to replicate that effect I would sugest you to use because they are simple and easy.
