[customk1]

ok, final "major" issue before i go live, hopefully within the hour if i can get some help!

site: http://customk9design.com/catalogzen

issue: javascript running on front page only, will only display in the default proportions, unable to re-size.

have script from here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm

added this to "define pages editor: main_page":

<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 1, "R")
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 0)
 
</script>

all my images are 500x500, however any time i modify the above script (1st- smaller one) to anything other than the provided 140x255 nothing displays.

HELP ME FINISH!!! :)

Hi,

I am not sure if this helps?.....

I ran firebug to look at the css etc.

your div is as such:
<div id="canvas1_0" style="position: absolute; width: 140px; height: 225px; top: 0pt; left: 0pt; opacity: 0.1; background-color: white;"/>
<div id="canvas1_1" style="position: absolute; width: 140px; height: 225px; top: 0pt; left: 0pt; opacity: 0.1; background-color: white;"/>

your css is:
element.style {
background-color:white;
height:225px;
left:0;
opacity:0.1;
position:absolute;
top:0;
width:140px;
}

have your tried not using the 'embedded style' in your div?
or
not give the with in your css?

Also did you check your
<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 1, "R")
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 0)

</script>

should be.....
<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 500, 500, 0, 3000, 1, "R")
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 500, 500, 0, 3000, 0)

</script>

hope this helps?

MrC... thanks for your reply! :)

1st, i know to change the javascript on the define page editor to 500x500... i put it back to where it would "work" so that anyone looking at it could better see the issue...

as for the css coding... (bear with me, im getting a bit punchy!)
where is that "element style"? i dont recall adding anything to my css when i first added this slide show...

will look a little deeper into that...

in the meantime, what do you mean by "have your tried not using the 'embedded style' in your div?"

[Mrchristoh]

hi,

do you use firefox browser?

if so there is a nice tool called 'firebug' that lets you inspect the code and css in real-time whilst browsing.

this is what i see when i use firebug to inspect your elements:

<div id="canvas1_0" style="position: absolute; width: 140px; height: 225px; top: 0pt; left: 0pt; opacity: 0.1; background-color: white;"/>

<div id="canvas1_1" style="position: absolute; width: 140px; height: 225px; top: 0pt; left: 0pt; opacity: 0.1; background-color: white;"/>

*Ps: when using firebug you can do some 'ad-hoc' editting to change your layout etc......until you refresh your browser, then it reverts to your original base code.

cheers

[customk1]

yeah, i use firefox... and have firebug, but admitedly dont know the program well enough to get what i really need out of it...

those div id's are being created by the script i put in the define main page... those same ones if i change to 500x500 dont work...

i can change them now (give me a sec) and if you go back to firebug you should see them change, but the slideshow wont work..

any info about that "element style"? where is that??

[Mrchristoh]

hi,

i done the ad-hoc edit with firebug --------- its works and shows the slideshow

i have corrected the issue and i can see your images in full 500x500:

<div id="master0" style="overflow: hidden; position: relative; width: 500px; height: 500px;">
<div id="canvas0_0" style="position: absolute; width: 500px; height: 500px; top: 0pt; left: 0pt; opacity: 0.990099; background-color: white; z-index: 41;">
<a target="" href="index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_18&products_id=22">
</a>
</div>
<div id="canvas0_1" style="position: absolute; width: 500px; height: 500px; top: 0pt; left: 0pt; opacity: 0.990099; background-color: white; z-index: 41;">
</div>
</div>
<div id="master1" style="overflow: hidden; position: relative; width: 500px; height: 500px;">
<div id="canvas1_0" style="position: absolute; width: 500px; height: 500px; top: 0pt; left: 0pt; opacity: 0.1; background-color: white;"/>
<div id="canvas1_1" style="position: absolute; width: 500px; height: 500px; top: 0pt; left: 0pt; opacity: 0.1; background-color: white;"/>
</div>
</div>


please try this tool.........it helps so so so much

if you need i can try to help more?

thanks

[customk1]

great! but where do i put that data?

it doesnt look anything like:

<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 1, "R")
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 0)
 
</script>

[Mrchristoh]

did you change

<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 1, "R")
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 0)
</script>

to this:

<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 500, 500, 0, 3000, 1, "R")
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 500, 500, 0, 3000, 0)
</script>

I have a funny feeling that this is the issue?

the edits i made are in the code generated by this script which leads me to believe that you need to change the code as above.

[customk1]

1st off... weird.. because that was the same change i made before, with no luck.

NOW it shows, which is great.. however, i dont want both slideshows to show... and when i delete the second one... nothing works...

i will try to disable with a // ? and wait for further input from you.

ps. ur my hero... :)

[Mrchristoh]

im glad it worked :)

sometimes after you have made the changes......your hosting company sometime needs some time to reflect these changes due to caching etc.
