Hi everyone,

Im using CC HTML Editor to build my site and couldn't be any more pleased with the program but I was hoping someone here could help me with an Image Slide program I am using.

Here is the page with documentation on what I am trying to Implement: http://slidesjs.com/

and here is the page on my site where I am implementing this: http://www.your-adrenaline-fix.com/hist … cross.html

The problem I am having is that this is not working properly and I haven't a clue as to where to begin to fix it.

If anyone could so kindly take a look at this and offer any suggestions, I'd be most appreciative.

BTW, I have NOT begun to delve into any of the "Options" that can be seen near the bottom of: http://slidesjs.com/

Also, I have already uploaded the JS Files to my support-files folder and have tried to implement the code as illustrated on http://slidesjs.com/ only making changes to it per Ctrl+D validation suggestions.

If anyone could help me with this, I'd be most appreciative and I thank Y'all in advance!!

Stuart, I noticed they have each slide in its own div in the example, which is different from the scripts I've used. Had a look at the source code for their home page and the slides are not in separate divs in their own code :P
<div id="slides">
<div class="slides_container">

</div>

I noticed they have a link to a support group on that page, too ;)

Hi Paintbrush,

I posted a question to that support group but it's a little slow moving there I've learned so I asked here...

I never thought about looking at THEIR Source Code (Doh') so I'm going to work on looking into that and making mine similar.

Thanks for that!!

Oh man... I just realized I think I'm a Longgggggg ways off from getting this to work.

It just feels like Im missing a lot of something to make this work.

For Example... I don't even know where the calls are to make the little small pagination dots appear.

I'm wanting to sort this out on my site but I'm referring to the pagination icons in the RH lower corner of their home page images.

I dont even know where these get called in...

I'm thinking their documentation could be a LOT better.

If you or anyone else wouldn't mind helping me crack this, I'd be most appreciative!!

Thanks a bunch everyone!!

All of the custom calls for the dots is in CSS style sheet.:)

Hi Rolly,

I've really done it now...

I decided to use a slightly different template that comes in the zip folder as the one I was trying to use at first was missing a bunch. I've found another example that I like and actually understand much better but I'm still having troubles.

Still working with: http://www.your-adrenaline-fix.com/hist … cross.html I added the proper code just before my </head> tag but the CSS file for the image scrolling feature is overriding my existing CSS file and making this page all askew.

Would you mind taking a look at this again and commenting on what I need to do?

Thanks again!!

Ok... I just deleted most of the CSS file and now things look better but the image box is crammed up against the left side of the screen (not centered where Im hoping to get it to) and the images aren't displaying, yet the calls for them are there.

I really appreciate your help...

I'm going back in

Looks like all your missing is some of the css for the slide show.:) I would keep it in a separate style sheet and link to it in the head of your page.

I just can't figure out why the images are not displaying.

I'm not even sure I have the CSS file correct. (I'm just blindly making changes and trying it to see what happens)

If you could help me out a little more on this I'd be most appreciative.

I Thank you again
