Thanks so much for the help.. I did see that notation in the instrcutions, unfortunately, because of my complete lack of Java, I can't figure out where to place any of those code examples. I've tried and everytime I try and add any of those I disable it from working completely. I didn't see enough of an explanation to tell whether or not I'm supposed to place the code in the head portion, or the body portion, and exactly what that line should look like.
This is what I have for the body section:
Code:
<p>
<script type="text/javascript">
//Notes on Parameters: The only required parameter is the slides_array_name. If Width is used, so must Height.
//Interval is optional too. It is always last, either fourth after Width and Height or second after Slides_array_name.
//Usage: new inter_slide(Slides_array_name, Width, Height, Interval)
new inter_slide(slides, 564, 198, 5000)
</script>
</p>
And this is what I have in the head:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
//If using image buttons as controls, Set image buttons' image preload here true
//(use false for no preloading and for when using no image buttons as controls):
var preload_ctrl_images=false;
//And configure the image buttons' images here:
var previmg='left.gif';
var stopimg='stop.gif';
var playimg='play.gif';
var nextimg='right.gif';
var slides=[] //FIRST SLIDESHOW
//configure the below images and descriptions to your own.
slides[0] = ["/images/big picture.jpg", "Big Picture"];
slides[1] = ["/images/news2.jpg", "News 2"];
slides[2] = ["/images/news3.jpg", "News 3"];
//above slide show uses only the defaults
//Notes:
//slides#.target will set a target for a slide group, will be overridden by slides#[#][3], if present
//slides#.specs will set new window specifications for a slide group, will be overridden by slides#[#][4], if present
//slides#.fadecolor will set fading images background color, defaults to white
//slides#.no_controls will set a slide show with no controls
//slides#.random will set a random slide sequence on each page load
//slides#.delay=3000 will set miliseconds delay between slides for a given show, may also be set in the call as the last parameter
//slides#.jumpto=1 will display added controls to jump to a particular image by its number
//slides#.no_added_linebreaks=1; use for no added line breaks in formatting of texts and controls
//use below to create a customized onclick event for linked images in a given show:
//slides#.onclick="window.open(this.href,this.target,'top=0, left=0, width='+screen.availWidth+', height='+screen.availHeight);return false;"
</script>

My limited experience with PHP + Coldfusion tells me I could change the layout in the swissarmy.js file, but I looked and don't see enough HTML to make head from tales!
Thanks for helping a NEWB!!
