1) Script Title: Flexi Slideshow

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

3) Describe problem: Is there a way to add the fade transition to the Flexi Slideshow coding?

Sure, try the below version of the original script, which uses the jQuery library to add in a fade effect. The code in red is new/changed from the original:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

<body>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
