Aloha, Brian (we're in Hawaii)
No I don't mind messing a bit with JS. Setting aside "value" judgements
about obtuse nature of the language, it's is clearly a valuable
technology -- I'm not really trying to "minimize my exposure" its more
about time, learning curve where my "creative coding" is very much a
sideline in an otherwise very busy day full of admin and publication
work. <advocacy>I could go on at length here about how revTalk "slides
easily" into that mind stream because of its' English like nature and
squeezing JavaScript or PHP into that mind flow never quite works or
sticks...(I tried with PHP and just got fed up... such a waste of time
to get the smallest things done) but that would be a digressing into the
nature of consciousness as it relates to linguistics and that core value
of revTalk that is a bit deeper than one might think. i.e. it's not just
"english like" but is also "dances well with the way you think most of
your day." </advocacy>
So, thank you! and Sarah too for the JS snippets and if I knew where to
go to find "more elegant JS functions" related to this I would check it out.

If you don't mind messing with a little Javascript, it could be as
simple as this:
<body onLoad="setTimeout('window.location.href =

'), 5000)">
This would go to the next slide in 5 seconds after the current page is
loaded. You could of course right more elegant JavaScript functions
around this, but if you want to minimize your JavaScript exposure,
this one-liner should work. It just creates a 5 second timer, and then
changes the URL of the current page.

while waiting for the plug-in to settle down ( I can't deploy revlets
until the update function is working)
I've been playing with iRev engine.
Here's a slide show that uses an iRev template in an iFrame.
http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/lexicon/images/backgrounds/
this code is generated by iRev functions to set up links behind the
previous and next buttons, where the buttons post the next slide and
previous slide numbers and path to the irev page which then returns
the slide with a new set of update buttons. I'm not really worried
about the round trip to the server because the html here is so small,
the CSS (not shown) is cached and you have to fetch the photos
anyway, a little more html text is hardly an issue.
Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to make this thing drive itself,
so the user does not have to click the next button, using iRev code.
I suspect I can't really do that with iRev but will need some
Javascript (which I don't know at all.)
