Script: jQuery HTML5 Fullscreen Slideshow

This jQuery plugin creates true fullscreen image slideshows. By true fullscreen we are referring to the entire area of the screen, not just the viewport, which was first supported by the HTML 5 API.

For non compatible or really old browsers, when starting the slideshow, the image will be shown on the entire area of the viewport, using some simple jQuery magic.

The plugin works as designed for all Firefox 10+ and Google Chrome 15+ browsers. The plugin's homepage says it will probably work on Safari 5.1+, but when we tested it with Safari 5.1.3, the image showed up only on the viewport, so don't get your hopes up just yet.

The slideshow also supports some other features like the possibility to add a caption (text description) to the image, and side navigation controls (left and right arrows for switching the images).
