A '''Web Based Slideshow''' is a [[slide show]] using client side browser technology like HTML, Javascript and CSS which can be played (viewed (or presented) using a [[web browser]]. Some web based slide shows are generated from [[Presentationpresentation software]] and may be difficult to change (they are usually not supposed to). Others offer templates allowing the slideshowslide show to be easily edited and changed.

Compared to a fully fledged [[Presentationpresentation program]] the web based slide shows are usually limited in features.

A web based slide show is typically generated to or authored in [[HTML]], [[Javascript]] and [[CSS]] code (files).
