I got code below off the internet, and it offers much of what I want, but rather than automatically cycling through the images, I want the user to press a next button to see the next image. I don't know javascript *at all*, but I'm hoping someone here knows it well enough to show me how it's done?
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">

var ultimateshow=new Array()
//ultimateshow[x]=["path to image", "OPTIONAL link for image", "OPTIONAL link target"]
ultimateshow[0]=['dinosour.gif', '', '']

var slidewidth="300px" //set to width of LARGEST image in your slideshow

var slidecycles="3" //number of cycles before slideshow stops (ie: "2" or "continous")
var randomorder="no" //randomize the order in which images are displayed? "yes" or "no"

//configure the below variable to determine the delay between image rotations (in miliseconds)
var slidedelay=3000
