title: Making a <div> slideshow
body: <p>I am looking to create a  slideshow. What I mean by that is that I want to create one of those things that you sometimes see on websites where you have a row of buttons at the bottom, and clicking on those buttons fades you to an image or a  element, but if you do not touch those buttons, they switch in order between one another. How can I make something like this? I am new to web development, and help would be much appreciated. I am aware that this task will require JavaScript, however I would like to avoid jQuery if at all possible, I will still consider suggestions made using jQuery, so please don't hesitate to post them.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
