HTML - Image Slideshow?

Hello ..
First I must say "Excuse me" if I posted in a wrong room......
I searched many threads for some information regarding the best programming technologies for displaying an image slideshow on a home page. Please let me know if you have any do's or dont's related to this. With some many technologies available to display an image slideshow I want to make sure I choose the right method so SE's dont stumble when indexing my site.

Thank You !

Hello all,

I have created a basic slideshow from dreamweaver's template provided. I want to add one link right next to the 'Next' button that says 'download full size image'. Is this possible to do without manually do it and manually pointing it to the correct file? I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Lorne

I want to position my slideshow in the center of the side.
the buttons are positioned with css.

Who can help ?

Right, I have started up a gaming website and I need that Headline Slideshow feature implemented soon as.

Here is what I'm struggling with:

I want to swap the normal action buttons (supplied by the slide generator *liink at bottom) with images I have created.

Buttons I want changed too
(<)Left button =http://i40.tinypic.com/mrftlc.jpg
(>)Right button =http://i39.tinypic.com/5wuo5.jpg

I do not want any other action buttons. But I want my images to be placed around the slide like so http://i40.tinypic.com/2176tf.jpg

Here is the Code:
Code:

<!-- configurable script -->
<script type="text/javascript">
theimage = new Array();


// The dimensions of ALL the images should be the same or some of them may look stretched or reduced in Netscape 4.
// Format: theimage[...]=[image URL, link URL, name/description]
theimage[0]=["http://i42.tinypic.com/205tidx.jpg", "http://enj.yolasite.com", ""];
theimage[1]=["http://i42.tinypic.com/205tidx.jpg", "http://enj.yolasite.com", ""];

///// Plugin variables

	document.images.imgslide.src=theimage[i][0];

	//if they want name of current slide
	document.getElementById('slidebox').innerHTML=theimage[i][2];

}


//###########################################
function PlaySlide() {
	if (!window.playing) {
		PlayingSlide(i+1);
		if(document.slideshow.play){
			document.slideshow.play.value="   Stop   ";
		}
	}
	else {
		playing=clearTimeout(playing);
		if(document.slideshow.play){
			document.slideshow.play.value="   Play   ";
		}
	}
	// if you have to change the image for the "playing" slide
	if(document.images.imgPlay){
		setTimeout('document.images.imgPlay.src="'+imgStop+'"',1);
		imgStop=document.images.imgPlay.src
	}
}


//###########################################
function PlayingSlide(num) {
	playing=setTimeout('PlayingSlide(i+1);SetSlide(i+1);', playspeed);
}


//###########################################
function preloadSlide() {
	for(k=0;k<theimage.length;k++) {
		theimage[k][0]=new Image().src=theimage[k][0];
	}
}

(code generated from http://www.ricocheting.com/code/java...e-slideshow-v2 if that helps)

PLEASE NOTE: We do not want the (>>) (<<) or <PLAY> buttons. Just as above.

We would gratefully accept any help - we are really bad with HTML. We have contacted the developer of the code but as of posting there has been no response.

Thx.

There are about 200 photos in a folder d:\photos\.
How to make a script to display slideshow of all photos one by one without entering each photo's name?
I found a script which displays all photos but need to input all photos' name.

Hi, i'm trying to design a webpage and I was wondering if there was a way to create a row of pictures that ONLY scroll like a slideshow when the cursor is hovering over the buttons. Is it possible? How?

Thanks

below there is a piece of code with slideshow (I took it from http://www.ricocheting.com/code/java...mage-slideshow). I can see only the first picture, not the rest. Can someone help me?

under "backstage pass"
thats where i want the slideshow but it wont put it under there nor under the "welcome to the show" area

what am i doing wrong?

I am having problem aligning text next to a javascript slideshow in a table. I can't get text to sit next to the show. It always goes on the top or bottom. Please, any help?

Pretty simple, I'm trying to me a slide show for my website (face in, 2.5 seconds later, fade out and move to the next one). I have a problem, I have tried everything to try and get the code working but I don't have a clue what the problem is.

Anyone tell me if you can spot any errors? I have managed to get the image to appear on my page but won't start the slide.

<html>

var image2=new Image()

Hey, I'm helping design a site www.tbdgaming.com and we have an ad box up top that shows different pictures and captions for each one, and what we'd like to do is have those pictures (theres 5) switch every x seconds to the next one, and we'd like it to be clean. The code is:

And again the site is www.tbdgaming.com, so if anyone could send me the HTML or non-executable java (no .jars to be added to directories) so that the pictures would rotate between eachother I'd really appreciate it. Also if there it a way to shorten the code I would appreciate it, as you can see its very long because its divided up so that each headline is separately coded to work when selected, but is there some way I can combine it into one compact space so that it functions the same but is shorter?

Hello,
i am trying to implement a basic slideshow on my website. My code is as follows:

<img id="img1" height="500" src="" width="500" />

<a href="javascript:moveToNextSlide()">Next</a>

<script type="text/javascript">>

var index=31;

function moveToNextSlide()
{
var slideName="slideshowimages/IMG_00" + index++ + ".jpg";
var img1 = document.getElementById("img1");
img1.src = slidename;
}

moveToNextSlide();
</script>


each image is called IMG_00 followed by a number from 31-41 .jpg. when i view the page the image doesn't appear, there is just a small red cross in a white box and the next function doesn't work.Please can someone help me!
Cheers,
Peter
