Your css is a bit off. #slideshow is your container, not #top_area.
Your slides are the images with #slideshow, not the ".pics" class.
Try the following:
#slideshow { position: relative }
#slideshow img { position: absolute; top:0, left:0, display:none }
#slideshow img:first-child { display:block }
