SlideShow

[TonySper]

I have just started with FrontPage and have made up a Photo Gallery which to
me is about the same as putting in pictures and then clicking the mouse over
them to enlarge them. What I would like is to make up a SlidShow. I would
appreciate if some kind person would spoon feed me through on how to go
about doing this or show me where to find the information on how to do it.
Thanks in advance
TonySper

I have written a slide show in JS http://tandcl.homemail.com.au/gallery.html
.. Click on either of the Slideshow buttons. I can provide details, but I
really need to simplify this somewhat

Or you can use a ready made solution from http://jalbum.net/

Trevor,
I like your slideshow. The one in jalbum.net has me thinking. Can you help
me with yours??
Do you copy it into the code section of the page??
I do have pictures on the page using Photo Gallery but you need to click on
the one line of pictures and my family just can't get it to click on the
arrows at the end to see all the pictures.
Thanks
TonySper

Tony,

Actually the HTML code is simply this

<div id="gallery">
<p><script type="text/javascript">SetupGall()</script></p>
</div>

All the work is done by SetupGall() which sets up the thumbnails (which are
clicked to see individual pictures) and the slide show buttons (which allow
automatic slideshows). There is a .js file containg the names of the image
files and an .html file used by the slideshow

My problem is that I am not sure how generalised it is. A quick glance shows
some quite specific references. Anyway I did offer, so I can have a look at
what files and instructions I would need to send you. Unfortunately. I may
no be free to do this until Tues or Wed (Canberra time), so watch this
space. (I wil also check to see if you have any other ideas that work for
you)

BTW,
FP photo gallery is known for its limited ability, which is why I never used
it myself

Trevor,
Thanks and will wait for the info. Do not know what SetupGall() is but will
be waiting for more info.
Thanks
Tony

Sorry for the obfuscation

SetupGall() is a function that I wrote myself. I wrote it so that it worked
in my specific situation, not as a generalised function. But I would like to
make it more useful to others. If I did that, I could then just post the
code to you and others who make the same query

I don't have time right now to do any more, so IGBTY (I'll get back to you)
