I'm working on a short animation for a webcomic I'm creating, but the animation plays too quickly. I want to set it up so that when I click an image, it hides the current one and shows the next one in sequence. I have about 48 frames, so I'd need to handle this transition multiple times. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

You can easily change the `src` attribute of an `` tag. Just store your 48 images in a folder, naming them from 1 to 48, and then loop through these names to update the image. Use an `onclick` event to trigger the change when the image is clicked.
Don't underestimate jQuery for this! It's pretty straightforward to implement image transitions, especially with nice animations. Just make sure you're comfortable with JavaScript basics first before jumping into it, though.
If you're having trouble with the animation speed, try doubling each frame. You can use the `onclick` attribute on your `` element to call a function. This function would count up and update the `src` to the next image in your list. If your count exceeds the number of images, just reset it. Pre-loading images can also help them appear instantly on click.
Is jQuery really beginner-friendly? I'm trying to grasp the basics of JavaScript first so I can use jQuery later.
