JavaScript - Ie8 Slideshow Issue All Other Browsers Ok

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;
}

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!

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);
}

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.

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



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

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,

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

thanks for your time - I am more of a hacker than a coder.

I have a webpage with a setinterval script I put together which reloads another page's php content into an iframe on the page. It works fine in IE, but doesnt work in FF or Chrome. (I dont want to use a refresh meta though that seems to work in IE & Chrome but not FF.)

Here's the script snippet I wrote:
Code:

<script>
window.setInterval("reloadIFrame();", 5000);
function reloadIFrame() {
 document.frames["chat"].location.reload();
}
</script>
<iframe id="chat" src="../chat/buffer.php" width="100%" height="200"></iframe>

on the page's first load, all the info is there in the iframe, but except for IE, updates do not show (the reloads dont seem to occur).

I have a javascript that precedes this script containing a setTimeout, but never had issues with it. I can post the entire page code, if needed...

thanks again.

Hi everyone
I know this has probably been asked a million times before but I have been searching the net for hours and have not found a solution so I am hoping one of you clever people will be able to help me. PLEASE!!

I am using this snow fall script http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/rain.htm

It works perfectly in IE but not in Firefox or Safari. I'd like it to work in all or most browsers if thats possible.

Unfortunately, I am still learning so don't understand all the technical speak as yet so if someone can help in simple terms I'd be ever so grateful

Thank you so much to anyone who can help me out!

I have the following code to display an image (and link if there is one):

Code:

	if (ads[adNumber].href) 
	{
	tempCode += ('<a href="'+ ads[adNumber].href +'" target=_blank "> \n')
	tempCode += ('<img src="' + ads[adNumber].src + '" width=' + ads[adNumber].width)
	tempCode += (' onLoad="setTimeout(\'newAd();\',' + refreshTime + ');"')
	tempCode += ('\n height=' + ads[adNumber].height + ' border=0 >')
	tempCode += ('</a>')
	}
	else
	{
	tempCode += ('<img src="' + ads[adNumber].src + '" width=' + ads[adNumber].width)
	tempCode += (' onLoad="setTimeout(\'newAd();\',' + refreshTime + ');"')
	tempCode += ('\n height=' + ads[adNumber].height + ' border=0 >')
	}
	return tempCode;

This works OK in IE9 but only shows the image if there is no link in IE7 (that is, if (ads[adNumber].href) is not true).

Thanks for any help!
