Slideshow with ASP and JS - Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v2.4)

**freya-san** · 06-10-2011, 02:26 PM

1) Script Title: Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v2.4)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm (and http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=29378)

3) Describe problem:

Hi all

I am trying to get a slideshow to work on my website that pulls the images from a folder on the server rather than pre-populated within the code. I managed to find the post (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=29378) which looks at the script title above, but after playing for a couple of hours can only get the script to produce a listing of all the file name URLs.

I can't seem to get the ASP code to feed the slideshow. I have put my code below, and I would appreciate any and all help that you can give.

Thanks

Freya

Code:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<%
' The Runtime code:
' Create some asp variables for
Dim strPath   'Path of directory
Dim objFSO    'FileSystemObject variable
Dim objFolder 'Folder variable
Dim objItem   'Variable used to loop through the contents of the folder

' You could just as easily read this from some sort of input
' NOTE: As currently implemented, this needs to end with the /
strPath = "/images/english/"

' Create our FSO
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' Get a handle on our folder
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Server.MapPath(strPath))

'Create some javascript variables

A fairly easy to use and often overlooked tool in developing asp code like this is the browser's native 'view source' menu item. When used while viewing the page it will show you how the asp code is being interpreted by the server and presented to the browser.

For a similar but different implementation see:
