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

In no particular order other than as I discovered them -

You have line breaks in the script where there are none from the demo page version here (your version):

Code:

document.write('
<div style="position:relative;width:'+trans_width+';height:'+trans_height+';overflow:hidden">
<div id="canvas0" style="position:absolute;background-color:'+bgcolor+';width:'+trans_width+';height:'+trans_height+';left:-'+trans_width+';filter:alpha(opacity=20);-moz-opacity:0.2;">
</div>
<div id="canvas1" style="position:absolute;background-color:'+bgcolor+';width:'+trans_width+';height:'+trans_height+';left:-'+trans_width+';filter:alpha(opacity=20);-moz-opacity:0.2;">
</div>
</div>
')

should be (demo page version):

Code:

document.write('<div style="position:relative;width:'+trans_width+';height:'+trans_height+';overflow:hidden"><div id="canvas0" style="position:absolute;background-color:'+bgcolor+';width:'+trans_width+';height:'+trans_height+';left:-'+trans_width+';filter:alpha(opacity=20);-moz-opacity:0.2;"></div><div id="canvas1" style="position:absolute;background-color:'+bgcolor+';width:'+trans_width+';height:'+trans_height+';left:-'+trans_width+';filter:alpha(opacity=20);-moz-opacity:0.2;"></div></div>')

Two of your images have the extension JPG, not jpg as you have here:

Code:

var slideshowcontent=new Array()
//Define slideshow contents: [image URL, OPTIONAL LINK, OPTIONAL LINK TARGET]
slideshowcontent[0]=["/uploads/rotate/photo1.jpg", "http://www.cnn.com", "_new"]
slideshowcontent[1]=["uploads/rotate/photo2.jpg", "", ""]
slideshowcontent[2]=["uploads/rotate/photo3.jpg", "http://www.google.com", ""]

should be:

Code:

var slideshowcontent=new Array()
//Define slideshow contents: [image URL, OPTIONAL LINK, OPTIONAL LINK TARGET]
slideshowcontent[0]=["/uploads/rotate/photo1.jpg", "http://www.cnn.com", "_new"]
slideshowcontent[1]=["/uploads/rotate/photo2.JPG", "", ""]
slideshowcontent[2]=["/uploads/rotate/photo3.JPG", "http://www.google.com", ""]

And the dimensions of the slide show are set incorrectly here:

Code:

var trans_width='140px' //slideshow width
var trans_height='225px' //slideshow height

should be (for these particular images):

Code:

var trans_width='288px' //slideshow width
var trans_height='216px' //slideshow height

And your body tag has a reference to an undefined function:

Code:

<body onload="Carousel()">

should be:

Code:

<body>

Take care of all that, and you will be in business.

Dear John
Thanks for so much trouble you are taking.
I made all changes as suggested except I can not avoid word wrapping of code.
Still It is not working

Check the list twice.

**shrihit** · 04-07-2008, 06:47 AM

@ Dear Nile
I made following changes
1. There was problem with extension of images so I Changed extension of images to gif
2. Changed width & height of images
3. Changed to <body>
4. I can not avoid line breakup because code gets word wrap automatically

I checked it twice But could not make out problem . I will appreciate and oblige you for this.

Your JS has some errors, I made ammendments to the point that I am not even aware as to which is original and which is the edited.
Anyways, change your script to:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

***********************************************/

var trans_width='288px' //slideshow width
var trans_height='2165px' //slideshow height
var pause=3000 //SET PAUSE BETWEEN SLIDE (3000=3 seconds)
var degree=10 //animation speed. Greater is faster.

var slideshowcontent=new Array()
//Define slideshow contents: [image URL, OPTIONAL LINK, OPTIONAL LINK TARGET]
slideshowcontent[0]=["/uploads/rotate/photo1.gif", "http://www.cnn.com", "_new"]
slideshowcontent[1]=["/uploads/rotate/photo2.gif", "", ""]
slideshowcontent[2]=["/uploads/rotate/photo3.gif", "http://www.google.com", ""]
