To be certain of the problem, I would need a link to your page. But it looks like you have something introducing line breaks into the image train. Most likely this is something like:

img {
display:block;
}

in your stylesheet.

If that, or similar is the cause, this should fix it:

#test2 img, #test3 img {
display:inline;
}

If you need more help:

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.

ok... next question... do you ever sleep? CAN you sleep? that you're able to sort out problems like that so quickly... i was expecting to wait like a month, give up on the script and move on..

yes that was EXACTLY the problem.... thanks a billion for your help. you just saved me re doing an entire project

on a diferent issue... the slide show doesnt occure fluidly. like in...

the last picture apears then theres a gap about 1.5 times the width of the pictures then sudenly the first one apears in the right place next to the last 1. i saw a similer post somewhere else but no replies to it

its not so much a problem just a bit disturbing

That one isn't going to be quite so easy for me. I would need to see it, more specifically have a link to a page that shows it happening, so I could examine the source code and see how it reacted to changes I might make to it. Also, if this happens only in a particular browser, or if you are only using a particular browser to test in, I would want to know the browser, its version and the OS you are using.

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.

hmmm... ok i need to just finish up some of this server side scripts (otherwise it wont work) then gonna save as the page and upload it.. its like that in opera, ie, firefox using XP pro.

[williamstam]

ok so i made a "demo" of it... rather than try get the entire page to load (im having trouble getting the blasted ajax load content part to work so its throwing all kinds of errors for now)

so heres the link to the slide show part

thanks for the help

Your image train isn't long (wide) enough to fill the space you have set for it here:

var sliderwidth="273px"

This would work:

var sliderwidth="223px"

or you could double the array of images:

//Specify the slider's images
var leftrightslide=new Array()
var finalslide=''
leftrightslide[0]='<a href="http://"><img src="071003153013.jpg" alt="(photo)" width="50" border="0"></a>'
leftrightslide[1]='<a href="http://"><img src="071004150002.jpg" width="50" border="0"></a>'
leftrightslide[2]='<a href="http://"><img src="071009112635.jpg" width="50" border="0"></a>'
leftrightslide[3]='<a href="http://"><img src="071009113424.jpg" width="50" border="0"></a>'
leftrightslide[4]='<a href="http://"><img src="071003153013.jpg" alt="(photo)" width="50" border="0"></a>'
leftrightslide[5]='<a href="http://"><img src="071004150002.jpg" width="50" border="0"></a>'
leftrightslide[6]='<a href="http://"><img src="071009112635.jpg" width="50" border="0"></a>'
leftrightslide[7]='<a href="http://"><img src="071009113424.jpg" width="50" border="0"></a>'

Alternatively, just adding another image or two to the current array would also give the 'train' enough width to fill out your slide show.
