I'm trying to put together a simple website for a friend, and wanted to include a slideshow. Copied the coding from here and pasted it in. It worked fine. Then, I tried to change the pictures in the slideshow and now it does not work. I don't think I changed anything other than the picture links, but apparently did. Can someone take a look at the source on the page and tell me what I've done wrong or what I've messed up and how to fix it?

The temporary webpage is http://www.freewebs.com/local492/tom2.html

The slideshow is supposed to be centered under the larger gold banner.

Thanks!!!

Try loading a random image in your browser and you should get a page telling you that nothing exists at that address.

It seems that the '3' at the end of each URL shouldn't be there. I don't know if this is the case for every image, but the small sample I tried all loaded without it.

Hope that helps,
Mike

Thank you for answering! So, are you able to see part of the slideshow? Maybe even just the dreaded red "X"? I've got to finish uploading the pictures to the host (haven't finished editing them yet. Was just trying to see how they looked in the slideshow before I edited all of them). For some reason, I'm not seeing anything except the link back to dynamic. No slideshow, no box with the red "X". Nothing. And, earlier, it worked fine.

Thanks!

Search for the line beginning: fadeimages[12]

Near the end of that line is syntax error where you missed ", at the end of the URL. That should fix it.
