Help with a slideshow script

Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v1.5)

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm

I was looking for a slide show to use and came across this one, but alast I am not able to use it due to the fact I have no idea what I am doing lol, I would like to use it so if anyone could help it would be nice.

I would like to use it just the way it is but have no idea where to put my pictures in the script, could one of you please show me where to insert them by using a red font color where the pictures go or whatever else I have to change, like I said I am lost. The pictures that I want to use are located in

C:\My Documents\Halau Web design\pictures\crowd3.gif

I assume that when the script says "no need to edit below here" that they really mean that.

I also assume that once I upload the pictures to the server I would use that as the path? (but you know what happens when you assume things)

Anyway thanks in advance

I am trying to learn on my own but sometimes I can be kind of slow on the uptake LOL.

Yes, that's it and you are right, once the page and images are on the web, the paths in the code must reflect the images' locations on the server. If you leave them as in your second post (pointing to locations on your computer), you will see them but no one else will.

Thanks John "but" when I load the page in the editor(1st page) an look at the preview I don't get any pics, and when I open the page in my browser I still don't get any pics (opened the browser while I am not online) it shows image 1 then 2 then 3 at the bottom but no pics, so I must be doing something wrong. I will keep struggling along an see if I can get it to work.

You might want to get rid of the space:

Code:

fadeimages[2]=[" C:\My Documents\Halau Web design\pictures\crowd2.gif ", "", ""]

between the " and the C:\

Also, try this convention:

Code:

fadeimages[2]=["file:///C:/My%20Documents/Halau Web design/pictures/crowd2.gif ", "", ""]

It's the way my browser represents files on the local drive. Using %20 for spaces in directory and file names as well as prefacing the whole thing with:

file:///

Don't forget to use the / instead of the \ either.
