Hi my name is Mac.

I have found a really good script for slideshows, here and would like to add Text to the slides. I use both IE6 and NS7.1, and have XP Pro as Win Version. I especially like it because it supports varied image sizes and centers everything.

I am a novice when it comes to javascripts.

I will post the Script here and perhaps someone can help me! This is basically a dummy script as I will fill in the slideshows when it's working.

You are right the code is cleaner for centering and the table setup itself.

Maybe i wasn't clear enough. I am trying to add text to each image and don't know how. When I play the page, all the slides come up fine and are centered in both IE and Netscape.

I don't know anything about javascript, except what I've learned by finding scripts and playing with them.

What I need is a script that will allow Multiple Slideshows, Multiple varied-sized images with text and that I can input onto a page within a table and/or frame.

As you can see I am grabbing the images off of web sites so that I don't have to store them.

It would also be nice if I could specify a max height and width so that I could set the table heigth smaller so as to allow slide viewing without scrolling down the page.

Thanks again, appreciate the help. To show you what I'm trying to do I am using another slideshow script on the page I'm writing, but it only allows one size of image.
