CGI for Slide show

[David Bovill]

I guess it depends how good you want it to look i the browser. If you want
really good results you need to use one of the open source DHTML or Flash
based slied shows. You can also use QuickTime and send it XML - not just
SMIL. But as far as i know these are not designed out of the box to send
back where in the slide show the user is. For that you would need to hack
the Flash or javascript.

Take a look at lightbox:

best soltion is to get lightbox to send back the user
position to a CGI or to set a cookie.
