JavaScript - Need Some Help With A Slideshow Script

Hi All, I am very new at this and do not have any script editing skills.

I have been building my website with webeasy 8 and downloaded one of the free scripts from JavaScriptKit website and I edited the parts that i think it were suppose to be edited.

However, my problem is that the script is not working and i don't know where to begin ..... When i preview the site it shows broken link icon where the picture suppose to load.

The pictures URL is correct, thus my dilemma! I don't know what else to do....

Copy of script bellow

<script type="text/javascript">

Hello!

A client of mine wanted a picture slideshow like this website.

http://themeforest.net/item/dark-atl..._preview/50415

I have looked through many different slideshows and carousel and have had no luck trying to find just a nice simple one like this.

Can anyone help?

I did find this:

http://sorgalla.com/jcarousel/

but it deals with JQuery and I'm not sure how to use it. If it's simple and I can change that script to the one above then that's great. Any feedback is greatly appreciated

I have a slideshow of quotes based on the "Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v2.1)" at Dynamic Drive: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm

This is right under my navigation bar, and the drop-down menu items are hidden behind the javascript slideshow. You can see it he http://brookenelson.com/upticon/draft3/index.html

Some background: The reason I did it this way because I first started out with a Flash banner with quotes fading in and out, and I ran into the problem with the drop-down menu items hiding behind the Flash... of course I Googled that and found the solution ( see he http://brookenelson.com/upticon/draft3/index2.html )

But in the meantime I played with the javascript slideshow and it worked better for me because it was easier to add new quotes just within the html, without having to go back and edit the Flash item.

Anyway, so is there a solution to the drop-downs being hidden behind the .js slideshow? Or should I go back to the Flash? Or is there some other sort of solution or script that would fit my needs better?

Many many many thanks in advance.

p.s. I personally do not like the little quote slideshow I am using, in either form, but the client is insisting on it!!

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.

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

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

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 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);
}

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

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



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

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 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.
