Altering my slider code to slide instead of cycle

I am trying to make a slider so far my code is working it is just cycling the images, now I am wondering if there is a way to alter it, so it will slide the images instead of cycling them. I don't want to use jquery though.

<script> var picCounter = 1; var total = 6; function slide (value) {

var image = document.getElementById('img');

picCounter = picCounter + value;

if (picCounter > total) {
    picCounter = 1;
} else if (picCounter < 1) {
    picCounter = total;
} else {
    image.src = "images/angel"+ picCounter+".jpg";
}}

function autoSlide(){

var image = document.getElementById('img');

picCounter ++;

if (picCounter > total) {
    picCounter = 1;
} else if (picCounter < 1) {
    picCounter = total;
} else {
    image.src = "images/angel"+ picCounter+".jpg";
}}

var stopandplay = setInterval(autoSlide,3000);

//slider stop and play functions

function stopit(){ clearInterval(stopandplay); } function playit() { stopandplay = setInterval(autoSlide,3000); } </script>

Without JQuery, you'll probably need to do some sort of fanciness with creating CSS transitions.
