Barry, Over a year ago, Barry, you'd set up a slide show I could use on my "misc" web. In between other important life events during 2010, I'd occasionally try to get it to work and could never get it right. I'm trying -- again -- and I'm still having problems. I'm still in kindergarten regarding CSS but my best guesses about why it isn't working is--- 1. maybe there's a conflict (something I created in placing the code into the page) with the body code, so it's wiping out the overall css used on "misc" ? 2. maybe I put your Slide Show Cross Fade style in the wrong place when trying to make sure I had the several css files in the right spots ? 3. I put something in incorrectly which makes the closing HEAD bounce to above the Cross Fade style (I tried moving the closing HEAD after the style, but Frontpage2000 pops it back up before the style). 4. something else (LOL) Interestly, the URL contents validates --go figure! (WS3 validator needs glasses-- my page is one blob of maroon! LOL) Also, instead of my Title on the page, the page shows the beginning of the script -- then everything else is blotted out by the background color--- maroon. It's been months since I did any work on this, but I don't THINK I changed anything in your css or js files. I did change directories for where I put your files. Before adding in your script, Barry, my test page did show the regular css layout and the slide show box with the first photo you had used. So, I most likely put the script into my test page incorrectly. My *bad* attempt is uploaded at: http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~florian/swpa_recreation/parks/sunset/slide-show/slideshow_test2.html If I can get your script placed correctly, I think I can understand where I'm to enter MY photos to replace your "test" photos. But, so far, I've been unable to get your script put into the code correctly, and correctly for the site's css. It's a mess. Could you take a look? All files you sent me are in the "slide-show" folder. In that folder is "images" for your test photos (jpgs). In images is a folder "gifs" for the one gif you used. But, I haven't gotten any of those to show on the page that *I* have tried to get situated. Judy

Judy, I have had a quick look and there are a number of problems. Am currently busy on another project, and if you are happy to wait a couple of days, I will sort out the page.

I still have 3 webs to go through for broken links so I have enough to do. I'm trying to not skip over any that I can't fix easily--- really have been taking time to figure it all out. The slide show files were part of the broken ones and its about time I get the slide show working right. Anyway, I can keep working on the other webs until you're free(r). Judy
