Slide Show

I'm trying to implement a slide show using jquery. My model is Murach's HTML5 and CSS3, 4th Edition, page 654. (Yes I know DD offers a slide show script. I could not get IT to work either.)

The following is in my head section:

HTML Code:

---

<script src='js/jquery-3.5.1.js'></script>
<script src='slide_show.js'></script>

---

The following is in the body:

HTML Code:

---

<br />
<br />
<p style="font-size:x-large; ">If Donald Trump makes an utterance in the middle of a deserted forest, and there is nobody around who hears him, is he still lying?</p>
<br />
<section>
<h1>Trump Slide Show</h1>
<h2 id="caption">The Might Is Right House</h2>
<img id="slide" src="images/trump1.jpg" alt="">
<div id="slides">
<img src="images/trump1.jpg" alt="Trump and Pal Putin">
<img src="images/trump2.jpg" alt="The liar tweets tonight">
<img src="images/trump3.jpg" alt="Dump Trump">
</div>
</section>

---

And here is my CSS code:

Code:

---


#slides img { display: none; }

---

The page is at https://www.njgunlawyers.com/page.php?here=test. I have downloaded jquery-3.5.1.js into the js folder of my server. (It also does not work when I grab jquery-3.5.1.js from jquery.com and put

HTML Code:

---

<script src='//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js'></script>

---

into my head section.

Please accept my apologies for linking to this heavily political message.

Hi there marain,

your Slde Show script is not in the location that you have coded..

https://www.njgunlawyers.com/slide_show.js

...so start you investigation to find it. ;)

OK. I changed

Code:

---

script src='slide_show.js'></script>

---

to

Code:

---

script src='js/slide_show.js'></script>

---

It still does not work.

I surmised that slide_show.js was perhaps contained in jquery-3.5.1.js. That surmise appears to be incorrect. I have no idea where to find it.

You may be overestimating my abilities.

Hi there marain,

there is no file with the name slide_show.js here...

https://www.njgunlawyers.com/js/slide_show.js

...either. :confused:

You need to check that the file name is correct. :cool:

Perhaps you could give us some indication of
where you got the script originally

I see your point. You're right--I'll have to look around for the script.

The instruction comes from Murach's HTML5 and CSS3, 4th Edition, page 654.

unfortunately, as you may have guessed, I do not have the
benefit of that tome on my bookshelves to enlighten me. :confused:

Coothead,

The book lists email addresses for its two authors. I'll ask them!

The author replied. They omitted a step from the book! Their next edition will fix it. In the meanwhile, they gave me the missing information. The slide show now works!

Thank you, Coothead!
