Modifying smart cache slideshow help?

[Soren]

Howdy Doody...

Just run into a bit of a problem.. (for the last few days)

Im trying to insert gif images instead of a standard button on a slideshow script from DHTML Shock... When I replace the buttons with images, it disrupts some of the other code in the file which I dont know how to fix.. Some sort of button disabling feature... Any suggestions? Help would be very much appreciated!

Have you changed the type?
input type="button"
to
input type="image"

Hi Peter!

Thanks so much for your tip!

Ive almost have it functioning... I have changed the

<input type="button"
to
<input type="image"

Which does seem to help, however I still seem to be having a problem with this change affecting the header script. The problem still has something to do with the button disabling feature... If I remove the .disable script then my image does scroll as intended, but it also reloads the original straight away... So effectively it only works for a split second!

??? Whew... Have I confused the issue?

Cheers,
Soren

I believe when you use:

input type="image"

the name attribute of the tag no longer applies, so name="previous" and name="next" may not be getting into the javascript. I will transfer this thread to the client side forum since this is a javascript question, hopefully one of the javascript gurus can let you know what you need to do to get it working with image buttons.

Thanks for placing this where the right people may see it..... Im still struggling with this issue.... So if there are any switched on javascript people who could help resolve this I would be most grateful!

Thanks in advance..

Hello Soren,
change this:
document.Slideshow.Previous.disabled = (NextSlide == 0);
document.Slideshow.Next.disabled = (NextSlide == (Slides.length-1));
to:
document.getElementById('Previous').disabled = (NextSlide == 0);
document.getElementById('Next').disabled = (NextSlide == (Slides.length-1));
and in the buttons that you have changed to image inputs, change name="Previous" and name="Next" to id="Previous" and id="Next".
