<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="fadeslideshow.js">

</script>

The code in your post is good. Most likely the images:

main_image.png
main_image2.png
main_image3.png
main_image4.png
main_image5.png
main_image6.png

are not there. According to the code they should be in the same folder as the page.

If you want more help, please post a link to a page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.

[mhalpin13]

the web page is not live at the moment... for the images to be linked like this i have them sat along side the index page on the root of the site folders.

i have tried using other images link from my other site rubb.co.uk.

the code looks like this ...

do i not need to change anything in the fadeslideshow.js file ?

[jscheuer1]

That one works. So the only problem was that the images were missing before. Perhaps they're there but their names are slightly different than what's listed in the code.

[mhalpin13]

i have managed to get it working in a test folder on its know but when i add it back into the main site folders it doesn't work, will it be conflicting names, i can't seem to pin point the problem

[mhalpin13]

i have noticed it stops working when i have a folder called "javascript" along side it on the site root folder or any other js file ?

i have uploaded a test file shown it working... http://www.rubbmilitary.com/test/index.htm

but the top 5 nav buttons "11.1m EFASS Hangar" don't have there js attached to roll over but when i add there js files the Fade-in slideshow stops working

[jscheuer1]

To figure it out, I need to see it. Please make up a demo of the problem and put it on the web somewhere. Post a link to it here.

Well, that's what I would need to see then. Make a demo of that.

But I also see you have a Prototype/Scriptaculous Lightbox script on the page, are you using that? It can conflict with jQuery which is used by the slideshow. There are ways of dealing with that. Right now those Lightbox scripts are missing, so there's no conflict with them at the moment.

[mhalpin13]

I have a lightbox js attached but it isn't used on that page, the only js file that is used is main.js and the sideshow now so I can delete them and see if that works. If not what can I do 2 make them work together

[jscheuer1]

If that (removing the Prototype/Scriptaculous Lightbox scripts from the page) doesn't fix it, put up a demo that shows the main.js interfering with the slideshow.

If you mean:

rubbmilitary.com/javascript/main.js

that doesn't appear to conflict with the slideshow.

[mhalpin13]

Tomorrow at work, I will delete the none needed js from the page and fingers crossed it will work.

ill report back and thank you very much for your help

[mhalpin13]

hello,

deleting the unwanted .js has seem to fix the problem and its all working now.
