Fade-in Slideshow Hyperlinking?

[torpedo009]

Script: Fade-In Slideshow
http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm

Is it possible to modify this script in any way so that the images that appear have hyperlinks? For example, each image that appears would have a different hyperlink?

Hi,

I was able to figure out how to add the same hyperlink to all images. Happened to work ok in our case since we were sending everyone to a single products page.

It would be nice if it were possible to do this on a per image basis though.

There are two locations we had to modify. One for NS browsers the other for IE browsers.
For NS
document.write('<a href="page.html"><img name="defaultslide" src="'+fadeimages[0]+'"></a>')

For IE
tempobj.innerHTML='<a href="products.html"><img src="'+fadeimages[nextimageindex]+'" border="0"></a>'

One thing we are having difficulty with is why images are not showing for NS at all. Posted a message to that affect on this script already. You can see this at http://www.autosafetymagnets.com

Hope this helps.

p.s. if you have NS at our site can you see the images in the right center area?

Yeps, the images don't show up in Mozilla Firefox either, they work fine in IE6 though. Other than that, thanks for the link code, it's start, I'll see what I can do with it :)

EDIT: Got it to work!! :D
I modified the script using your suggestions and added bits from the Drop in slideshow 2 which has this hyperlinking feature ;)
