Hi,

I would like to create and include a slider banner in my web site. Could anybody please comment or advise what I can/should use. I am using VSD.

Thanks

Yes, I think that is it. I will give it a try. Thanks

Here is one I like and it is not too hard to implement.

Check this website out there have tons of image sliders and galleries for free.

I also found a product called Easyrotator from DWUser.com. It appears to work quite well, except the positioning I cannot figure out. I cannot find the code anywhere in VSD otherwise I could probably manually move it.

The Easyrotator tool is perfect! I just need to know how to get the image slider I've created into my website. I'm a noob, so any help would be appreciated.

Robert, you need to tell us which programme you are using to create your site. Then we may be able to tell you what to do.

For VSD users I think, after having experimented a bit with the Easyrotator, would be best to create first a folder, name it whatever you want, and then a basic html file, all you need is acually:



If you create this file in e.g. Notepad, just paste the code and save it as whatever.html to that folder you created.

Also, collect the images you want to use and put them in a folder 'pics' or something inside the folder.

Then you start making the slideshow, and initially you are asked about which file it has to go into, and the root folder. Give the path to the file and the folder you created.

When you have finished, Easyrotator has placed the necessary code in your file.

Now fire up VSD and find the page where you want this thing to appear, drag out a rectangle with the html tool and then go back to the file you created and open it in Notepad. Copy the Code that you see between
<!-- Begin DWUser_EasyRotator -->
and
<!-- End DWUser_EasyRotator --> (those two delimiters included)
and paste it all as 'body html' in VSD. You may have to manually move the 'pics' folder over to the folder created by VSD, of this I'm not quite sure, as I've haven't had to experiment that much. But you'll find out, I guess

Thanks! I'm using VSD, and I'll give this a try. I've been playing around with the EasyRotator a while now, and it's very helpful.
