Space between slideshow and new product

Hey everyone,

I am having a problem with my pages. http://www.royal-fleur.com/florist-san-rafael-ca

There is a gap between my .swf slideshow and the "new product for..."

I look on the the template file but i can t find the problem.

I have the same problem on all my pages except the main page.

What could be the problem?

Please any help would be more than appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Re: Space between slideshow and new product

Looks like you fixed it...

... but why are you using flash?

Flash cannot be read on many mobile devices, and slows a site down.

Flash should only ever be used when there is no other (more efficient) way of solving a functional need. In your case, image rotation is better achieved using js.

Rather use Jquery and JS image faders.

I did fixed the problem. I had a wrong margin setup in the css.

How can i achieve the same effect as my flash using the Jquery and js thing.

I am not familiar at all with it and could use some help

Thank you

I look into the Nivo Slider and it has some awesome capability but i have a problem

I don t want the slideshow to be all across the page.

The look i am trying to achieve is to have a central slideshow image with 4 surrounding image which are either fixed or slides separately from the central image.

Is there a way to insert the nivo slider into a table in the define main page?

or what else could be used to achieve what i have using JQuerey

With a bit of "tweaking" you can get it to behave in practically any way you want. Small, big, several at once...

But don't make your landing page rival Disney for entertainment... SIMPLICITY is what counts on eCommerce.

Just because YOU think something looks nice on YOUR site, does not mean your (potential) customers feel the same way.

They are there to get to product data - generally having been led there by a Search Engine link - so they are not interested in being entertained.
