    Default Ultimate Fade-in not fading/how to delete linking

    1) Script Title: Ultimate Fade-In Slideshow (v1.5)

    2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm

    3) Describe problem:
    I have this script working on my test page only it is not fading:
    http://www.odysseydenver.org/index_slide.html

    I inherited this site which was using an older blend slide show script from DD. Hopefully I didn't leave any of the old script in. I know I can see fading in Safari as it works at this site:
    http://www.bostontenpoint.org/

    I also would like to change the script so the images are not clickable or linkable, just a fading slide show.

    Actually - I can see the slideshow in Safari 2.0.4, but not in Firefox/1.5.0.6...just white space...

    Help would be very much appreciated!

    The script on http://www.bostontenpoint.org/ is one I helped them to modify for Safari fading. Here is an even better version of that mod (it is backward compatible with older Safari and retains the KDE code (should Konqueror ever implement it):

    Code:

    To remove links for any image - use this syntax for its entry in the array:

    Code:
    fadeimages[0]=["photo1.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
    I'm looking into the errors in Firefox.

    You are missing critical table elements in your markup surrounding the script call:

    Code:
    			<table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="5" width="100%" height="210">				
    
    	<tr><td>			
    				
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    //new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
    new fadeshow(fadeimages, 160, 291, 6, 3000, 1)
    
     
    </script>
    	</td></tr>	
    			
    	</table>
    Take care of that (add the red parts) and Firefox will work. Here is your array of images as it should be and the updated script from the last post:

    Awesome John! Thank you so much! I saw in the previous posts that you had modified their code also, but I was confused as to how to incorporate it.

    It is now working in Safari and Firefox! However it is still clickable - I changed the entry in it the array as you mentioned above, but perhaps I didn't do it correctly....

    http://odysseydenver.org/index_slide.html

    Again, I am very grateful!

    Lots of folks miss this but, you really haven't done the array as I wrote it. You have:

    Code:
    var fadeimages=new Array()
    //SET IMAGE PATHS. Extend or contract array as needed
    fadeimages[0]=["images/odyssey1.jpg",] //plain image syntax
    fadeimages[1]=["images/odyssey2.jpg",] //plain image syntax
    fadeimages[2]=["images/odyssey3.jpg",] //plain image syntax
    fadeimages[3]=["images/odyssey4.jpg",] //plain image syntax
    fadeimages[4]=["images/odyssey4.jpg",] //plain image syntax
    fadeimages[5]=["images/odyssey6.jpg",] //plain image syntax
    fadeimages[6]=["images/odyssey7.jpg",] //plain image syntax
    fadeimages[7]=["images/odyssey8.jpg",] //plain image syntax
    fadeimages[8]=["images/odyssey9.jpg",] //plain image syntax
    fadeimages[9]=["images/odyssey10.jpg",] //plain image syntax
    I have, color added:

    fadeimages[8]=["images/odyssey9.jpg", "", ""]
    fadeimages[9]=["images/odyssey10.jpg", "", ""]
    Partly my fault as, I should have removed the green parts, they are only comments and have no effect on performance. I also posted:

    Code:
    fadeimages[0]=["photo1.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
    The important part is in red. The link and target fields must be empty, not missing.

    aaahhhh! Again, my sincere thanks!

    If I want to change the border color of the slide show, do I do it here?

    <script type="text/javascript">
    //new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
    new fadeshow(fadeimages, 160, 291, 6, 3000, 1)

    Many thanks,
    Wendi

    Default

    You can put this style on your page:

    Code:
    <style type="text/css">
    #master0 div img {
    border-color:#0099CC;
    }
    </style>
    just before the main script in the head of the page. You can make:

    #0099CC

    be any color you want but, I think that one matches the layout. The red 0 corresponds to the first slide show on the page (the only one you have, in this case), 1 would do a second, 2 a third but, since you have only one, just use 0.
