I am confused - I can't get these two scripts to run at the same time on my website

[Novice444]

1) Script Title: Fade-in image slideshow script and Conveyor belt slideshow script

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

3) Describe problem: I am confused - I can't get these two scripts to run at the same time on my website: 1st is a rotating banner with fade. The 2nd is a conveyer belt slideshow of pictures. I want them to load with the page in the header section. They work individually but not together.

I have tried various onload scripts I found by searching. But for the life of me, I can't figure out:

1. Where the onload code goes

2. How does it call each script (how to define the functions)?

3. How do I get them both to work at the same time?

Here is the JS script for the faded banner:


<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
def function_name(slheader):

var slideshow_width='800px' //SET IMAGE WIDTH
var slideshow_height='300px' //SET IMAGE HEIGHT
var pause=4000 //SET PAUSE BETWEEN SLIDE (3000=3 seconds)

var fadeimages=new Array()
//SET 1) IMAGE PATHS, 2) optional link, 3), optional link target:
fadeimages[0]=["pic location 1","",""]; fadeimages[01]=["pic location 2","",""]; fadeimages[02]=["pic location 4","",""];
fadeimages[03]=["pic location 5","",""];
fadeimages[04]=["pic location 6","",""]

There is no conflict I'm aware of with these two scripts. If you're using an older version of the slideshow script (less than 2.0) there could be.

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

I guess my question is really how do I add an "onload" script (event?) to get the two scripts to run. When I tried naming my functions with:

def function_name(slheader):

and the other one:

def function_name(slbuttons):

It wouldn't work even one at a time. I tried using other onload scripts but they didn't work so I am confused.

I tried a simple onload function: <window OnLoad="slheader();slbuttons()"> but there must be something missing. I'm sorry if this seems so remedial of a question. I guess what I'm looking for is a window onload function that will call both scripts in the header portion of the website.

I can't direct you to a website because I have one already without scripts and don't want to erase that and put up pages that are not done.

[Novice444]

And, no I didn't find any conflicts with duplicate variable names or anything like that.

[jscheuer1]

None of that should be required. The sideshow doesn't use the onload event, so there should be no onload conflict. There might be some other problem(s) though. If, as I said, it's an older version of the slideshow script, there could be an onload (or even some other) conflict(s). The best way(s) to resolve that and/or any other conflict(s) there might be would to see an example of the page showing the problem.

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

I tried a simple onload function: <window OnLoad="slheader();slbuttons()"> but there must be something missing. Not sure where <window> comes in to things (you've invented a new tag). Do you mean;
<body OnLoad="slheader();slbuttons()">
Anyway, have you tried calling the function in the <head> on page load?

EDIT -

With regard to your comment here;
I can't direct you to a website because I have one already without scripts and don't want to erase that and put up pages that are not done.you could always put up a temporary copy page that includes the scripts, which you can delete later. You don't have to mess with your main website.

[jscheuer1]

Oh I see you are using an older version of the slideshow. Either update to the current version:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm

or change this:


window.onload=fillup

to:


window.onload=function(){fillup(); startit();};

The browser cache may need to be cleared and/or the page refreshed to see changes.

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

[Novice444]

Thank you so much!!!!!! I made all the changes you both suggested and it worked!!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! Now I just have to figure out why the second script positions the slider in the middle of the page instead of the header!!!! I have been trying to figure this out for weeks so you have saved my sanity! :)

[Novice444]

I can't express how grateful I am to both of you John and Beverley!!!! Javascript is something that is very new to me.

[Novice444]

I figured it all out and it works. This is RESOLVED. But I can't figure out how to change that on the original posting. Sorry.

[jscheuer1]

Go to your first post in the thread, hit:

Edit

Then in the lower right hit:

Go Advanced

Then in the top portion of the advanced editor "Your Message" section find the drop down for:

Prefix

Change it to Resolved.
