I have always programed my own website and must say that people seem to like what I do.
I have always used a combination of flash and html but I need to work up an html version only. I am a professional photographer so a slide show is very important to me. I have been using this as a way to change html pages showing different photos: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="4;URL=%NEXTIMAGE_NOQUOTE%"> It works great but I also have a form field on the pages to "sign up for our e-list". I need a way to stop the refresh if someone wants to sign up. Any suggestions would be great! Can't provide a link since this is still in developement! Thanks, Michael |

How about a javascript-based one? http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ has a few to choose from.

Thanks for your suggestions Christian have tried a slide show to do it but have never found one that I am happy with. Need something that would read from a dir list or something similar for a slide show. Updating the photos often is really important, I did the refresh so that I could just name the images 1-10 etc.

How about http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/externalphp2.shtml ? Or others by searching for "php slideshow from folder".

Thanks Frederiek, I think this will work although I can't figure out how to center the slideshow. Your help is appreciated

The styling of the surrounding div doesn't match your images.
Change: CODE style="width: 170px; height: 160px;" to: CODE style="width: 800px; height: 500px; margin: 0 auto;" BTW, you can even leave out the height: CODE style="width: 800px; margin: 0 auto;" |

You left in the height without a value. Use my last code:
<div style="width: 800px; margin: 0 auto;">...>/div> Works for me (Safari 4/Mac OS Tiger). |

Did you read what I said in the other thread you made about this? Did you add an approprieate doctype?

Hey Pandy, tried reading it and rereading it and tried several things but for some reason I can't understand it maybe I am missing something...I will take a look again. I appreciate all of your help! |

No one understands that the first read. It's a big fat mess actually, as often happens when browser vendors go and do things on their own.
Use this if you plan to write HTML Strict CODE <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> and this if you want to use HTML Transitional. CODE <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> Point is IE doesn't understand centering with auto margins when it is in Quirks Mode. There are many reason to see to that browsers are in Standards Mode (AKA as Strict Mode). Not using any doctype at all gives you Quirks. In Quirks browsers basically emulate older and quirkier versions of themselves, so you'll have more bugs, less understanding for CSS and more differences between browsers. Not good. Note that Strict Mode isn't the same as using a Strict doctype. It's just an unlucky choice of words. If you ask me, choosing doctypes as triggers for these rendering modes wasn't a very bright idea to start with. But that is as it is now. Also see http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/doctype.html . |
