JavaScript - How Can I Run Two Random Image Slideshows At The Same Time?
Random Image Slideshow (I want two!?)
Hi I have use the code from he http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...domslide.shtml (which works well for me) Can anyone tell me how I can get a second other random image to display on the page beside the first? I cant work it out. It seems I cant run the script twice? Here's my page: http://www.bookmarkpeople.com/chillax2.htm Any help much appreciated? A bear of simple brain. Jules. Similar TutorialsHere's what I usually use and have been using for years and it works great, just not for this particular purpose. I don't have a clue when it comes to javascript. Code: <noscript><img src="no_script_quote.gif" width="406" height="94"/></noscript><script language="javascript"> var delay=6000 var curindex=0 var images=new Array() images[0]="quote1.gif" images[1]="quote2.gif" images[2]="quote3.gif" images[3]="quote4.gif" images[4]="quote5.gif" var preload=new Array() for (n=0;n<images.length;n++) { preload[n]=new Image() preload[n].src=images[n] } document.write('<img name="defaultimage" src="'+images[Math.floor(Math.random()*(images.length))]+'">') function rotateimage() { if (curindex==(tempindex=Math.floor(Math.random()*(images.length)))){ curindex=curindex==0? 1 : curindex-1 } else curindex=tempindex document.images.defaultimage.src=images[curindex] } setInterval("rotateimage()",delay) </script> But, now I want to be able to set a default picture to be shown first and have the random pics appear next. I also don't want the default pic to show up again in the random array. So basically, every time the page was first visited, or refreshed it would show the default picture then move into the random pics. Is there anyway to modify the code that I'm using to accomplish this? Or... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dell Hi, This is my site at the moment in testing: http://whnpf.perdu.servertrust.com/ I have the ideal layout of my slides underneath the actual slide itself. My problem is, everytime I copy the code and place it in again, for some reason the slide goes to the next line and not next to the other slide. Here is my code for the current slide: <script type="text/javascript" src="/v/vspfiles/assets/images/stepcarousel.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/v/vspfiles/assets/images/stepcarousel.js"> </script> <style type="text/css"> .stepcarousel{ position: relative; /*leave this value alone*/ border: 1px solid GREY; overflow: scroll; /*leave this value alone*/ width: 313px; /*Width of Carousel Viewer itself*/ height: 262px; /*Height should enough to fit largest content's height*/ } .stepcarousel .belt{ position: absolute; /*leave this value alone*/ left: 0; top: 0; } .stepcarousel .panel{ float: left; /*leave this value alone*/ overflow: hidden; /*clip content that go outside dimensions of holding panel DIV*/ margin: 0px; /*margin around each panel*/ width: 313px; /*Width of each panel holding each content.

On the page I am designing I have 2 js slideshows. The first one slides images right to left and the second contains the caption for the image and fades in and out. Here is an example of the exact concept of what I'm trying to do: http://designsensory.com/ The problem I'm having is that the slides will not maintain the same timing and I'm not sure how to create a single user control that controls both slideshows simultaneously. I would really appreciate if someone could help me solve the issue or at least point me in the right direction (tutorials possibly?). Here is the JS code: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var firstreel=new reelslideshow({ wrapperid: "myreel", //ID of blank DIV on page to house Slideshow dimensions: [500, 300], //width/height of gallery in pixels. Should reflect dimensions of largest image imagearray: [ ["css/500_300/Dairy plant.jpg"], //["image_path", "optional_link", "optional_target"] ["css/500_300/slider-big.jpg", "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave", "_new"], ["css/500_300/Hospital image.jpg"], ["css/500_300/Picture2.jpg"] //<--no trailing comma after very last image element! ], displaymode: {type:'auto', pause:3500, cycles:0, pauseonmouseover:false}, orientation: "h", //Valid values: "h" or "v" persist: true, //remember last viewed slide and recall within same session? slideduration: 800 //transition duration (milliseconds) }) </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var mygallery=new fadeSlideShow({ wrapperid: "fadeshow1", //ID of blank DIV on page to house Slideshow dimensions: [280, 300], //width/height of gallery in pixels.

The problem I am having is that I want to have several slideshows on my page. On it's own, a single slideshow works fine but when I add a second (and do my best to hack the code with my limited knowledge) only one slideshow will work, or sometimes neither. I found the article from this site that explained about event conflict, but the example used looked quite a bit different to mine. Here is the js file I started with Code: window.addEventListener?window.addEventListener('load',so_init,false):window.attachEvent('onload',so_init); var d=document, imgs = new Array(), zInterval = null, current=0, pause=false; function so_init() { if(!d.getElementById || !d.createElement)return; css = d.createElement('link'); css.setAttribute('href','slideshow2.css'); css.setAttribute('rel','stylesheet'); css.setAttribute('type','text/css'); d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(css); imgs = d.getElementById('rotator').getElementsByTagName('img'); for(i=1;i<imgs.length;i++) imgs[i].xOpacity = 0; imgs[0].style.display = 'block'; imgs[0].xOpacity = .99; setTimeout(so_xfade,3000); } function so_xfade() { cOpacity = imgs[current].xOpacity; nIndex = imgs[current+1]?current+1:0; nOpacity = imgs[nIndex].xOpacity; cOpacity-=.05; nOpacity+=.05; imgs[nIndex].style.display = 'block'; imgs[current].xOpacity = cOpacity; imgs[nIndex].xOpacity = nOpacity; setOpacity(imgs[current]); setOpacity(imgs[nIndex]); if(cOpacity<=0) { imgs[current].style.display = 'none'; current = nIndex; setTimeout(so_xfade,3000); } else { setTimeout(so_xfade,50); } function setOpacity(obj) { if(obj.xOpacity>.99) { obj.xOpacity = .99; return; } obj.style.opacity = obj.xOpacity; obj.style.MozOpacity = obj.xOpacity; obj.style.filter = 'alpha(opacity=' + (obj.xOpacity*100) + ')'; } } This uses a couple of CSS files and then you just add a div=rotator on the html to add the object and then the images and links within that div. If anyone can help, or perhaps give me a better solution, I'd be most grateful. Thanks I just created a slideshow that is working (finally). I want to put a description beside the photos that is styled in the way I want it, but I can't seem to figure this out. For an example of what I want to finished slideshow to resemble, I found this website: www.equisearch.com. I like the features area on this website. Here is my code so far: Code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> // Modified for: http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?p=949514#post949514 var ImgPtr = -1; // -1 for first pass only var BaseDirectory = 'http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa216/Jilldear/'; ImgArray = [ // format: ['imageName','Comments about image'] ['pinto-1.jpg','<a class="duh" href="paintorpinto.html">Paint or Pinto?</a>'], ['shedding.jpg','<a class="duh" href="sheddingout.html">Shedding Out Tips</a>'], ['dewormer-1.jpg','<a class="duh" href="sampledchart.html">Sample Deworming Chart</a>'] // Note: No comma after last entry ]; 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()",3000); } </script> </head> <body> <div style="width:300;text-align:left;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto"> <div id="Caption" class="duh"></div> <img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa216/Jilldear/pinto-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" id="mypic" name="mypic" alt="" border="0" height="300" width="398"> <br /> </div> </body> </html> Hey folks.. Hope you can help, I'm completely new to this and have no knowledge at all when it comes to javascript. Have been using this script on my site for a while. Is there anyway I can add a URL link to the images that are in my selector? When clicked would go to that page on my website.

Hi, I am wanting to do menus and image slideshows using javascript because my existing flash menus and slide shows no longer work on many newer devices. To save time learning all about Javascript, I purchased WoW Slider and Apycom Menus, two programs that do it all for you. Independantly both programs work perfectly, however if I use both programs together on the same website, as soon as I add my image slider it messes up my menu for that page. the menu item colours and bouncy effects when I do a mouseover on menu items no longer work correctly. Example http://www.dorset-self-catering.com note the menu working correctly on mouseover, then go to second page called "Information", this page also has a slideshow and if you now do a mouseover on the menu, you will see that all the nice properties no longer work. Is anyone able to offer some advice please.

I have created my online quiz using 5 linking files and everything works great. My only problem is getting the images to show up on my quiz. All I get is the filename with a red X.

Basically I need to have a slideshow that picks images from a folder without the need to use arrays as there will be a large amount of images and I need to literally be able to drop images in a folder and they appear in a random order within the slideshow. As you can appreciate with a large amount of images, the code needs to call them as and when needed rather than loading them in at the beginning. I have been using Wordpress's nextgen gallery and have been hacking away at a few plugins etc, and the closest I have come is to make WP select a different post with gallery each time creating the illusion that the images are in a different order, however this isn't going to be ideal as its not truly random, and breeds duplicates. If I have to stay away from WP that's fine, uploading to an ftp would be ok. Hope someone can point me in the right direction! Thank You A I have a tutorial I have to complete for my web class out of the "New Perspectives HTML, XHTML, and Dynamic HTML 4th edition book" (the tutorial I'm doing is number 10) and I can't figure out how to get the numbers to show up.

In the head section, just above the closing </head> tag, insert a script element that accesses the code in the random.js file. 2. add a second script element for the cod e that you'll add to the mpl2.htm file 3. Within the second script element, create a function named showImg(). The purpose of this function is to write an inline image tag into the current document. The function has no parameters. Add the following statements to the function: a. Add the following multiline comment to the start of the function, just below the opening showImg() function statement. The showImg() function displays a random image from the 0.jpg through 9.jpg files. The random image is designed to thwart hackers attempting to enter the library records database by requiring visual confirmation. b. Declare a variable named imgNumber equal to the value returned by the randomInteger() function. Use 9 as a value of the size parameter in the randomInteger() function. c. append the statement that creates the imgNumber variable with the following single-line comment: Return a random number from 0 to 9 d. inster a command that writes the text <img src='imgNumber.jpg' alt='' /> to the document, where imgNumber is the value of the imgNumber variable. 4. scroll down to the bottom of the file and locate the last table cell in the document. Within this empty table cell, insert a script element. 5. within the script element, call the showImg() function five times. YOu do not need to specify a parameter value. ___________________________ It's a lot of info but I just can't figure out how to get the images to show up, any help will be appreciated, I think I gave all the info needed. Hi, please look at: http://bit.ly/hO5VBE then click 'play app match' you'll see the images are taken from the first 15 in an array, then doubled and randomized. however, i want the the images taken to be a random selection from an array of 15+ images. so the array would be e.g. 25 images, and i want any 15 of those 25 to be chosen (then doubled and randomized) rather than the first 15 taken. any help would be great! James p.s. if you load the main page while hovering over an icon, its tooltip will be "undefined".. any ideas to stop this? Thanks! Hi I am a complete novice with Javascript. I posted a question on another site as I want to show a series of 9 images in a random order - ie all 9 images but changing their order every time the page loaded. Someone responded with the following script: onload= function(){ var n, pic, A= [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];// replace integers with urls var pa= document.getElementById('image_set'); // reference the container element pa=mr('evalBlock') while(A.length){ pic=document.createElement('img'); n= Math.floor(Math.random()*A.length); pic.src= A.splice(n, 1); pa.appendChild(pic); } } However - I don't know how to put it into my pages to get it to work and they have not replied to my further query. I think I have to put something in the () after function, also, do the URLs have to be absolute and do they need enclosing in ' or ". Also what code do I then have to put on the page to call the image? Would anyone here be able to help? Many thanks Carol Hi I implemented some coding tor create a random image on the page with a corresponding 'alt' tag and all was fine for a while... Then I got ambitions and modified the script to generate code that would generate two seperate sets of random image and associated 'alt' tag pairs.... and all seemed fine for a while.... ... however after having used the code on my page for a while I notice that occasionally I get a broken file link to the image which then fails to show... and shows the 'alt' text of "undefined". All the code links to images are correct and all images DO show from time to time with the tags.... only occasionally this extra blank/undefined pair is generated. Anyone have any ideas? Here's the code... Code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- Begin // Set up the image files to be used. var theImages = new Array() // do not change this // To add more image files, continue with the // pattern below, adding to the array. theImages[0] = 'images/240 Images/belmarsh-peat-240.jpg' theImages[1] = 'images/240 Images/98-florence-rd-maidstone240.jpg' theImages[2] = 'images/240 Images/boxgrove-biface-240.jpg' theImages[3] = 'images/240 Images/Fieldwalking2-240.jpg' theImages[4] = 'images/240 Images/Hawkinge-Pot-240.jpg' theImages[5] = 'images/240 Images/Justin_Barton-240.jpg' theImages[6] = 'images/240 Images/StaffPages/Hadrians-Wall.jpg' theImages[7] = 'images/240 Images/Chilley_Farm_Pevensey240.jpg' // do not edit anything below this line var theImages2 = new Array() // do not change this // To add more image files, continue with the // pattern below, adding to the array. theImages2[0] = 'images/LeafletImages/Fronts/Building/Building4.jpg' theImages2[1] = 'images/LeafletImages/Fronts/Fieldwork/Fieldwork4.jpg' theImages2[2] = 'images/LeafletImages/Fronts/Finds/Finds4.jpg' theImages2[3] = 'images/LeafletImages/Fronts/Forensic/Forensic4.jpg' theImages2[4] = 'images/LeafletImages/Fronts/GeoArch/GeoArch4.jpg' theImages2[5] = 'images/LeafletImages/Fronts/Heritage/Heritage4.jpg' theImages2[6] = 'images/LeafletImages/Fronts/Landscape/Landscape4.jpg' // do not edit anything below this line var theAlts = new Array() // do not change this // To add more image files, continue with the // pattern below, adding to the array. theAlts[0] = 'Peat bog excavations at Belmarsh Prison.' theAlts[1] = 'An archaeological watching brief underway in Maidstone, Kent.' theAlts[2] = 'A flint biface hand-axe the from Boxgrove excavations, West Sussex.' theAlts[3] = 'Fieldwalking.' theAlts[4] = 'Excavation of a cremation urn at Hawkinge, Kent.' theAlts[5] = 'An MA Student from University College London a records ceramic vessel.' theAlts[6] = 'The Hadrian’s Wall Management plan was prepared in consultation with Archaeology South-East (Copyright - Image by Simon Warner).' theAlts[7] = 'Historic Building Recording at Chilley Farm, Pevensey.' var theAlts2 = new Array() // do not change this // To add more image files, continue with the // pattern below, adding to the array. theAlts2[0] = 'Building Recording Services.' theAlts2[1] = 'Fieldwork Services.' theAlts2[2] = 'Finds and Environmental Specialist Services.' theAlts2[3] = 'Forensic Archaeology.' theAlts2[4] = 'Geoarchaeological Services.' theAlts2[5] = 'Heritage Management Services.' theAlts2[6] = 'Landscape Research Services.' var j = 0 var p = theImages.length; var preBuffer = new Array() for (i = 0; i < p; i++){ preBuffer[i] = new Image() preBuffer[i].src = theImages[i] } var whichImage = Math.round(Math.random()*(p-1)); function showImage(){ document.write('<img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'" border="1" alt="'+theAlts[whichImage]+'">'); } function showImage2(){ document.write('<img src="'+theImages2[whichImage]+'" border="0" alt="'+theAlts2[whichImage]+'">'); } // End --> </script> and its called by the code... Code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- Begin showImage(); // End --> </script> and.. Code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- Begin showImage2(); // End --> </script> Many thanks in advance. I have a form that used php to load a random image but now i would like to use javascript instead and am sure I nearly have it. I need to have a random number between 0 -5. Here is my code Code: <script type='text/javascript'> var random = Math.floor( Math.rand() * 6); document.write("<img src='images/'"+random+"'.jpg' alt='random image' /><input name='image' type='hidden' value='"+random+"' />") </script> |
