JavaScript - Slideshow Design

Solved

Hey im looking to get 3 slide shows on 1 website (coded in php).

I need the slide shows to all show different images however all change images at the exact same time and have the exact same layout... how can i do this?

This slideshow has a drop down menu that lets you go from one picture to another.

Can someone help me modify it so that instead of a dropdown menu i have a list of numbers (horizontally,not vertically)?

I know absolutley nothing about javascript. sorry.

Thanks programmers!

Hello. I was wondering where I can find something like this:



It's a slideshow. I need one for my site. Thank you.

Hi,

I desperately need a javascript slideshow that does the following:

1--shows still images with thumbnails
2--can be played manually or automatically
3--can embed youtube videos
4--audio can accompany slideshows
5--powered by javascript, not Flash so it shows up on iPad

Does anyone know where I can get such a slideshow? Thanks

hi evey one
I need a slideshow like this website .

zbiddy.com

as you can see , in the top of the page is a slide show . I just need a slideshow that change the content of each slide .

I've made my content for each slide and just need a script that change these content

I need your help very much
Thanks

Code:

var mySlideShow = document.getElementById("slideShow");

var imageArray=new Array(); 
imageArray[0]="url(images/Slide1.JPG)";       
imageArray[1]="url(images/Slide2.JPG)";
imageArray[2]="url(images/Slide3.JPG)";


var imageIndex = 0;

var leftArrow = document.getElementById("left");
var rightArrow = document.getElementById("right");

mySlideShow.style.backgroundImage = "url(images/Slide1.JPG";


function changeRight  () {

mySlideShow.style.backgroundImage = imageArray[imageIndex];
imageIndex++;


	if (imageIndex >= imageArray.length) {
	imageIndex = 1;


	
	}
	
	console.log(imageIndex);
	
}


function changeLeft  () {

mySlideShow.style.backgroundImage = imageArray[imageIndex];
imageIndex--;
console.log(imageIndex);
	
}




rightArrow.onclick = function() {
	
	changeRight();
	
	}
	
leftArrow.onclick = function() {
	
	changeLeft();
	
}

So what I am trying to do here is basically a slideshow. When I click on the left button it goes backwards and when I click the right button it goes forward. The problem arises when I click on the left arrow. It doesn't act as I want it to and I need some help. I want to remove one from the image index but imageindex--; doesn't seem to work.

Any help would be awesome.

I created a slideshow that displays the 5 images randomly. It is for a college project for a class I am in. Here is the HTML for the area that holds the images

Code:

<div id="imageBox">

                <!-- Random Images -->

                <img src="images/image1.jpg" width="200" height="200" alt="School Images" id="randImage" />

                        </div>

and here is the external .js file for it

Code:

window.onload = pics;

var thisPic = 0;

 

        var schoolImages = new Array("images/image1.jpg", "images/image2.jpg", "images/image3.jpg", "images/image4.jpg", "images/image5.jpg");

 

function pics(){

 

       

        thisPic = Math.floor((Math.random() * schoolImages.length));

       

        document.getElementById('randImage').src = schoolImages[thisPic];      

       

        cycle();

       

       

}

 

function cycle(){

       

        thisPic++;

       

        if(thisPic == schoolImages.length){

                thisPic = 0;

        }

       

        document.getElementById('randImage').src = schoolImages[thisPic];

       

        setTimeout(cycle, 3 * 1000);
               
     
}

I had the slideshow working completely fine... then when i finished the rest of the site and added more pages, it is now not working for me. It just sits at the original image that is loaded when they site loads. Does anyone see any issues to what is making this not work correctly now?

I worked a lot with a friend to change the code, and it's almost there. The next and last buttons still work. The Start buttons is titled 'wri' and the latest button is titled 'end'. The end button does not work. Before I added the end button, the start button worked, but now it sends you to the image alt. Any ideas on what went wrong?

Code:

window.onload = initLinks;

var myPix = new Array("comic/Issue1_Page00.gif","comic/Issue1_Page01.gif","comic/Issue1_Page02.gif");
var thisPic = 0;

function initLinks() {
	document.getElementById("prevLink").onclick = processPrevious;
	document.getElementById("nextLink").onclick = processNext;

}



function processPrevious() {
	if (thisPic == 0) {
		thisPic = myPix.length;
	}
	thisPic--;
	document.getElementById("myPicture").src = myPix[thisPic];
	return false;
}

function processNext() {
	thisPic++;
	if (thisPic == myPix.length) {
		thisPic = 0;
	}
	document.getElementById("myPicture").src = myPix[thisPic];
	return false;
}

// Load Images
if (document.images) {  

  writeImg = new Image();      
  writeImg.src = (comic/Issue1_Page03.gif);
  
}

function imgOn(imgName) {
  if (imgName == 'end') { document.strip.src=eval("writeImg.src"); document.txtwriteImg.src=eval("txtwriteOnImg.src"); return true;}

  return false;
}


// Load Images
if (document.images) {  

  writeImg = new Image();      
  writeImg.src = (comic/Issue1_Page00.gif);
  
}

function imgOn(imgName) {
  if (imgName == 'wri') { document.strip.src=eval("writeImg.src"); document.txtwriteImg.src=eval("txtwriteOnImg.src"); return true;}

  return false;
}

I am having a problem with my homework assignment and can not figure out the problem. Debug comes back clean and I am stumped on this project for several hours. I hate asking for help and like to figure it out on my own, but I can not seem to know what the problem is. I have done alerts in my blocks of code and everything is coming back.

Here is the book and the case problem I am on:
http://books.google.com/books?id=BeE...page&q&f=false

Basically the images is not loading up, or anything is happening.

//EDIT : I have the function setup() onLoad in the body ( body onload="setup()" )

Here is my code:

FileName: flibrary.js

Code:

function getStyle(object, styleName) {
   if (window.getComputedStyle) {
      return document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(object, null).getPropertyValue(styleName);
   } else if (object.currentStyle) {
      return object.currentStyle[styleName]
   }
}

// step 3
function addEvent(object, evName, fnName, cap) {
   if (object.attachEvent)
       object.attachEvent("on" + evName, fnName);
   else if (object.addEventListener)
            object.addEventListener(evName, fnName, cap);
}
//step 4
function addEvent(object, evName, fnName, cap) {
   if (object.detachEvent)
       object.detachEvent("on" + evName, fnName);
   else if (object.removeEventListener)
            object.removeEventListener(evName, fnName, cap);
}

Hello all!

I am trying to make a slideshow with the javascript code found here http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/.../jsslide.shtml

but, When I try to add more than 5 images, it does not work. I wanted to know if you guys had any insight as to why that is?


Thanks

Hey guys, I hope this is the right place to ask. I have searched the internet high and low for a script that does what I need, but I cant find anything! I would think it would be pretty easy to build, but I am not sure.

I need it to do a couple things:
-Be able the click the photo to advance to the next one
-Fade into the next photo
-When it reaches the end, restart with the first photo
-Have a counter in text somewhere not on the photo, for example (2 of 3) underneath

So does anyone know of anything? I can find tons of scripts but none of them do all these things, theres always something missing. Any advice?

I have been working on a picture slideshow w/ a caption, and (due to being an extreme amateur) I cannot get it to work just right. I have the slideshow going, but I can't get the caption to stay on the right side of the photo, while keeping the layout fluid. I would also love to add a pause, forward, and back button, and I have tried several free slideshow generators but either they don't work or they don't produce what I'm after.

Here is my code so far.

Javascript:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

var ImgPtr = -1;	// -1 for first pass only

var BaseDirectory = 'http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa216/Jilldear/';
ImgArray = [	// format: ['imageName','Comments about image']

var intervalAction;

function ShowSlide(slide_num) {
  document.getElementById('mypic').src = BaseDirectory+ImgArray[slide_num][0];
  document.getElementById('mypic').alt = ImgArray[slide_num][1];
  document.getElementById('Caption').innerHTML = ImgArray[slide_num][1];
}

function slideshow() {
  ImgPtr++;
  ImgPtr = ImgPtr % ImgArray.length;
//  document.getElementById('tst').innerHTML = 'Showing: '+ImgPtr;
  ShowSlide(ImgPtr);
}
onload = function() {
  slideshow();
  intervalAction = setInterval("slideshow()",5000);
}
</script>

HTML:

Code:

<div style="height:300px;width:398px;">
<div id="divCaption">
<div style="position:absolute; z-index:30; left:-999;" id="Caption"> </div>
<img src="" alt="" border="1" id="mypic" name="mypic" alt="" height="300" width="398">
</div><br />
</div>

I would LOVE for the finished slideshow to look somewhat like the one on this website: http://www.equisearch.com/ but I know this is a lot to ask

Thanks so much in advance!!!
