Help - Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v1.5)

[Ballara]

1) Script Title: Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v1.5)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm

3) Describe problem:
What a great script, i just want to have a background image in the table that the slideshow sits on top of e.g.

<td width="207" rowspan="2" valign="top" background="/images/en_CC/IMAGEHERE.gif"><div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 220, 353, 0, 3000, 0)
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 220, 353, 0, 3000, 0)

</script></div></td>

The slideshow kicks this down below it and i would like to know if its possible to have them overlap?

THANK YOU!!!!

The containing division is probably not necessary. The width of the cell should be at least equal to, perhaps even a little greater than the width of the sideshow(s). If you are only using one slideshow, get rid of the call that you are not using:


<td width="207"


new fadeshow(fadeimages, 220, 353, 0, 3000, 0)
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 220, 353, 0, 3000, 0)

There could be other problems.

Hi Thanks for the quick reply, looks like the background was working but as the table was too long i was getting a tiled image that made it look like it was being pushed below.
Dont suppose you know of a way to make a background image get used ONLY once?

Thanks!

The background attribute has been deprecated. Background images should be applied using css style, here is an example:


<td width="207" rowspan="2" valign="top" style="background: red url('/images/en_CC/IMAGEHERE.gif') center top no-repeat;">

It is best to specify a color with an image. I used red but, you can use any you like.
