jQuery HTML5 Fullscreen Slideshow

This jQuery plugin lets you create fullscreen galleries where the slides are shown on the entire screen using the fullscreen APIs provided by Firefox 10+ and Chrome 15+ (and possibly Safari 5.1+).

In all other browsers it falls back to displaying the slideshow in the entire viewport.
