I need help on a Javascript Slideshow

[Micario]

I would like to have multiple slideshows on my page, that view in a table on the same page. I will list the following requirements.

A. Very limited budget - on SSI
B. Multiple Topics (shown with Links that starts the Slideshow.) I will have a list of slideshows to view.
C. Multiple Images that come from web sites. They will be of various sizes and configurations
D. Ability to set the max-width and max-height so as to align in a table. Must autosize the slide to fit within the table. The table would probably be set to about a 900 width by a 400-500 height.
E. Centering of slides in the table regardless of image size.
F. Configurable borders around the slide
G. Accompanying Text Description above or below each slide, also centered.

I don't want much do I?

I've found several scripts but none that do everything. I can email or private message my web page so that you can see what I'm trying to do. The page is also listed in my profile. The script I'm using there references configurable player and I've centered it, however it's tied to one size image or won't center.

What little I know of javascript is I am learning from modifying scripts to see what they do.

Hope Someone can help - Thanks

I'm not sure how close this is to what you are looking for... but gut instinct says it might be close.

If not... you might want to look around and see if they have something closer.

Hope it helps a bit. :)

I have been checking out the dynamic drive site for several days and have gone thru all of their scripts.

The one you sent me to was a single topic slideshow but formatted correctly.

I'll be presenting about 10 slideshows with about a 100 images of different sizes per site, centered and down the road the ability for subscribers to upload their own collections.

We hang in there or we get left in the lurch!

Okay... well what about for the moment... finding a slide show script you like, formatting it the way you need it... then putting it on it's own page, and loading that page into an iframe on the page you want.

As far as navigation between all the shows, yu could use maybe a drop down menu and target the links to the iframe.

Just a thought.

By the by I checked your site - nice.

I will list two urls, each with a different slideshow setup. The first is limited to one size slide and oriented to a player but is fast as it preloads the pics, the second works but i haven't figured out how to add text.

As you can see I plan to mix slideshows with a variety pack of other things, A Way for Campers to stay in touch and research things on the road.

Yes your suggestions are what I'm looking at, a drop down or descriptive buttons. As I am using other's sites to get the pics I'll have to get their permission and reference them for content or delivery thereof.

Okay I see what your after now... and thats a nifty script that actually should be aboput what you need. Give me a few days to stare at it and maybe i can see how to include a description...

[Micario]

It's actually one of the most compact scripts that I've seen. I could possibly create text images to go with each slide but I'd still have to run them as multiple images or taken as two slideshows at the same time.
