Does anyone know how this rotating banner on this link below was created or where I could get information online of how to create a banner like this? I know there are many banner styles out there but I want to see how this one was done. Thanks

@eman: Yes, there are tons of these scripts out there, usually known as sliders. This particular one appears to use bxSlider:

At a guess, they've used the slider's onBeforeSlide and onAfterSlide events to change the CSS opacity on the current and prev/next slides to create the "faded out" effect.

Matt - could a slider be added to the header of a WordPress theme?

@jacknet: Sure, I believe there are many WP themes out there that use sliders.
