I need an image gallery with a vertical auto scrolling thumbnail

I need an image gallery with a vertical auto scrolling thumbnail.

Very similar if not identical to the one on http://www.tc-bathrooms.com/

I have found a few varieties on dynamic drive and a few others which almost meet my needs but have no auto scrolling function and I need the thumbnail to open iup in a new div to the left.

Although I can apply javascript I can't write it.:)

My customer is adamant that he has this scrolling function.

Any idea where I could find the code to do this. I am prepared to buy a software package if required to do this.

I develop in Dreamweaver.

Thanks

I've attached a zip file that includes index.html and a few demo images. This should at least mimic what you're looking for. It's not exactly the same, but I think it's pretty close. I tested this in FF3 and IE7.

Whenever you hover your mouse over the right image panel or the buttons, it will not autoscroll. Try opening the page and just leave your cursor off any elements. It should automatically scroll every four seconds. You can click on the small images to load the bigger image in the left panel. You may click on the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll through the smaller images.

Took me about an hour to finish it. Was fairly interesting :)
