I am looking to create a object that scrolls through different pictures with links to the stories that go with the picture. I am not sure what they are called, but its pretty much a news slideshow with links. Much like the one on leagueoflegends.com, espn.com, liverpoolfc.tv.
Does anyone know where to find a tutorial or something like that? I have not worked with Javascript much before.
You seem to be describing a carousel. There are hundreds of these available for use, including this one that I wrote a while back (it’s primarily for video, but is perfectly usable with pictures, too) or JCarousel.
