Does any one have some simple code to be about to do a fading slideshow on the main page that I can enter in a static page.

Many thanks

Sorry maybe I did not explain right, I just want a series of 3 or 4 pictures that fade from 1 to another, not a customer controlled slideshow.

Thanks

Here's one which uses jquery (see attached), can't quite remember where I found it...

I use this one a lot (the second image is optional):

I hate to ask this and probably know the answer, is it a case of just cut and paste in the code. I have done this and it has come up with error, error, error.

Does this code have to be modified to be able to work? more than just the filenames of the images to be displayed?

This is the error that I am getting displayed.

You need to surround JavaScript with {literal} tags, so Smarty doesn't try to read it:

{literal}

JavaScript here

{/literal}

[antonywalsh]

Ok. And does that mean put {literal} at the beginning and then {/literal} at the end of the whole thing?

Or just in the body part or head part or just where it says <script type="text/javascript">?

Many thanks for your help.
