How to call JavaScript Slide show

[newagekat]

Hi:

I recently upgraded a site we're working on to v1.3.0.2. I'm using overides templates. The site can be viewed at: customironworks.com

DrByte had posted a response to this quesiton on an archived post: Javascript slideshow

I want to do the same thing but on a global scale and I want to preload the images.

I have placed jscript_slideshow.js inside includes/templates/ZC/jscript/ including the opening and closing tags.

If you've visited the site, you will notice a grey box with top and bottom blue border. this is a background image in css. That's where the slideshow should load. images were placed in includes/template/ZC/images/slides/

Questions:

1. how do I call the script to display in that cell?
2. the array is calling relative image files: images/slides/slide1.gif. is this correct or should I use absolute links?
3. did I place the image in the correct images folder?
4. how do I preload the images?

When I followed the instructions in the Docs, I got a a blank space, equivalent to the slideshow, displayed top left corner above the logo.

I must be missing a step. I have placed slideshow.html in the ZC directory just to test that the script runs correctly. you can see it here: testing files

DrByte, can you clarify?

sounds like you need a different approach from my comments in the post you referenced.

I think all you need to do is insert this directly in the template file which drives the part of the page where you want the slideshow to appear.

<script src="jscript/slideshow.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I can't tell you "where", because the site you linked is either down for maintenance or not a direct link to your working files area.
