Although I am a register user (since today) I still can't post my question on the main site so I decided to do it here.
I have installed slide show according to Eric's instruction from this websitehttp://progrower.coffeecup.com/
Everything is working but for some reason, title of the page is embedded to the images. Here is the link to my site (please note it is still a test site so don't pay attention to any graphic. It is still just VSD theme).

Could you please tell me what I need to do, to format it correctly?

thank you

Hi Eric, Great name.;)
Are those text box's suppose be on the page but near the top left of the page? I bet there's a chunk of code with a missing tag or an extra tag.:)

Found the problem.:D

It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Incomplete closing tag on image 5.;)

Also make your HTML box the size of your slide show. This can cause problems if you ever intrude on the div's space.

Wow! it is working. I was playing with your original HTML and probably I messed it. thanks. By the way. Is there a way to make the slide show work a little differently? I wanted each slide to fade out and have let's say 1 second interval between them and then fade in another and so on. I know it requires a different coding but is it a big deal or just a small tweaking to the original?

Change the 1000 in this line in the header code to make the fade longer. 1000 = 1 sec.
.animate({opacity: 1.0}, 1000, function()

Change the 4000 in this line to make the frequency change. 4000 = 4 sec.
setInterval( "slideSwitch()", 4000 );

I was playing with those values but it how I understand they only change the length of each slide to be displayed and the speed of the transition. I would like each slide to fade out completely, wait 1 second and fade in another slide and so on.

At the moment I think the only way to handle that would be to put a black image between all you other images. You could try looking on the net for a Jquery slide show that has that and I can help you get it working if you post back here after you find the one you like.:)
