You have the sizes in the wrong place. Replace this:

new fadeshow(fadeimages, , 400, 267, 1, 3000, 0, "R")

with this:

new fadeshow(fadeimages, 400, 267, 0, 3000, 0, "R")

Thanks,

I tried that - to no avail- still not working.
Its driving me crazy.
As is often the case it is probably something really simple.

[balinor]

I'd start over from scratch, as you have probably changed something somewhere that is causing the problem. I use this script all the time, so I know it works. Paste the default code in, change the image names and image size and that is it.

Thats a great idea.
Glad to know its not hte script- didn't hink it was but you never know.
Will dump and build see what happens.
Will post back to you,
Thanks for all your time and effort - you make a huge difference to people like me that are trying to get better at this stuff.
Know it takes time but

Yea, I remember fighting with this the first time I tried it as well. Also, while you are at it, to do it right and keep your code clean, save the javascript portion that you put in the head as a separate file - I usually call it slideshow.js. You won't need the literal or <script> part, just what is in between the <script> and </script> Put that file in skin1/. Then in your head of home.tpl, put this:

{if $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript 1.2" src="{$SkinDir}/slideshow.js"></script>{/if}

That only runs the script on the home page, and keeps the code out of the source.

Hey Balinor,

Like a dog I have been nawing away on this and finally success- well almost.

I have gotten the slide to work, but when I try to add the code to the skin1.css
and put the recomended code into the home.tpl
when I look a the slide show in IE I see 2 small missing image icons underneath the slide show images- these missing image icons are hyperlinks that when clicked take me back to either cssdrive.com, or javascriptkits.com

I went back into the dynamic drive script and removed the two references I found for these- near the top of the script where the images for the fade are listed- cleared my cache yet they still show up.

As you know a newbie here, I haven't put j/s into the skin before.
I have tried to reference it a couple of ways thinking that this might be why this problem is happening.

I have put the script in like this

.slideshow.js {

script goes here

}

also tried

slideshow.js {

script here
}

and

#slideshow.js {

script here

}

I have not included <script> </script> or {literal} {/literal} just the code.

Should I be calling for this in some other manner ?

It would be greati f I coud get the js into the skin put at this point I am happy just to get the script working.

any thoughts?

Thanks

Ummm...don't think you understood my post. You need to create a new .js file called slideshow.js. This is simply a text file. You then upload that file to the skin1/ directory. You don't do anything with skin1.css.

As for the missing images, those are probably from the second image part of the script, you can delete that all together.

This is old code from dynamic drive. This is all I use and works perfectly in php.

DUHHHHH

missed that in the post.
Too many hours looking at the same thing.
Makes much more sense with a fresh set of eyes.

Made txt file and added to skin1/directory.
moving on.


again many thanks

Raxiitpatel,

THanks for the code
Thisis basically the same scrript I am using,
Being the knuckhead I am with much of thsi stuff I was having probelms getting it to work right.

Think I solved the problems as it is working and moving on to other things.

Thanks again for the reply though.
