If you haven’t seen Apple’s product slider in action, you must check it out. It’s a horizontal gallery of their products with horizontal slider controlled with javascript. I believe they are using the scriptaculous motion for this, but there should be a way to build this in jQuery.

display: block;
}
NOTE: css is case-sensitive.
