Javascript and HTML?

So I'm completely new to website design. Using CoffeeCup mostly.

I purchased a slideshow device from, and the way it works is that you choose your template, pop in your URL where your pictures are located, and then it spits out the Javascript (you can also choose SWF, etc. but I'm wanting Javascript).

I then Added Files from the appropriate provided folder into the Root folder, took that Javascript and dropped it into CoffeeCup's HTML box. But it isn't working.

It would be super helpful if someone here who uses Coffeecup could help me out with this.

Here's a link to the site I'm using for testing

It is very difficult to help with a programme we don't know, like your slide show programme.

Did the instructions say anything about pasting the scripts in the head section of the html file? In that case you have to choose 'header html' in your VSD html box.

What you also could try is uploading your images to a folder on your server and try to link to them from there. I'm not sure if it will work from a https url at Picasa.

I'm no expert in VSD, others will have to chime in and give further assistance.

Does the app say you can pull images from your Picasa album?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

It could also be a good idea to ask the producer of your slide show. Maybe they have a user forum.

I downloaded the free version but didn't see anything about pulling images from Picasa.:)

I don't know if this would help...
I've used a popular album creator which automatically saves the gallery to its own hosting space. One can then either display the gallery on their own webpage through an IFrame or by way of some embedded code. When using the embedded code option, I needed to upload my photos to the VSD site as well (Edit > Add Files) to get them to display.
Don't know anything about the above program, though :P
