JavaScript - Slideshow

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;
}

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!

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?

Solved

Hello everybody!

first of all I must specify that I don't know almost anything about javascript... I'm trying to introduce a javascript slideshow (I found a free one) on our website and I have a problem:

As you can see here on the bottom of the page (http://www.comelity.com/en/pages/about-us.php), when the slideshow changes image, it puts a link over the image without any reason and if you click on the image it reloads the page... I would like to remove this link, but I'm not able... Does anyone know how to solve the problem? I can send the javascript slideshow if you want...

Thank you very much!

S.P.

Hi, Does anybody know how to create an Image Slideshow like the ones on the main page of http://www.game.co.uk and http://www.burton.co.uk????

Hi, I am somewhat new to javascript and website design, (as in I mostly try to follow tutorials to figure how stuff works) and was wondering how I would make a rotating photo slideshow (in js).

Such as in the following sites:
http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/wp-con...inal_small.jpg

and

http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/wp-con...inal_small.jpg (but instead of clicking on the photos to rotate, an arrow to rotate, such as in the first image/example)

Thanks so much in advance

Please help i know its something stupid but I just cant see it.

Hi,

I'm working on an image slideshow for a website (please see the codes below). So far I've got the big images to change whenever I scroll to a thumbnail. There are two more things/functions I'd like to add to it, 1) make the big images clickable and each links to a webpage and 2) make the big images rotating (from first to last image continuously), but still maintain the ability to view other big images when scrolling over to the thumbnails.

Here are the codes:
Code:

<title>Image Gallery</title>

<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
  var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
  var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
   if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
}

Thanks!!!

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:

var BaseDirectory = 'http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa216/Jilldear/';

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!!!

Does anyone know of a script or has a script i could use that allows me to load a bunch of images and display only a range of them on a certain page?

Hello All,

I found lightbox to be very useful for certain things, however I was hoping someone could help me out with the code or point me to a tutorial that could do what I am looking for.

Similar to lightbox (http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/) how you can click on an image to open a separate window to display a slideshow, however with lightbox you need to display all images that are included in the slideshow, i.e. thumbnails.

I was hoping to find a way to do something similar but without having to display all the images as thumbnails. I want to display only one picture which the user can click on that will open a new window and display a slideshow with multiple images.

If this possible? Can someone help me out with this?

Any tips or tricks or tutorials that can be shared with me I would greatly greatly appreciate it.

Many thanks,
bg
