Ok I have a CD, I have made some nice html files to browse the CD. I have an image folder which I want to run as a slideshow set to music.

However the html file autoruns, and I want to be able to click on the slideshow link in the web browser to make the slideshow.exe work. However it doesn't, how do I make it work, or is it even possible? Or is there some free web slideshow software I have not seen?

Put this in the <head> section, changing the image names to be correct and relative.


<script language="JavaScript1.1">

//specify interval between slide (in mili seconds)
var slidespeed=3000

//specify images
var slideimages=new Array("image1.gif","image2.gif","image3.gif")

//specify corresponding links
var slidelinks=new Array("http://www.dynamicdrive.com","http://javascriptkit.com","http://www.geocities.com")

var newwindow=1 //open links in new window? 1=yes, 0=no

var imageholder=new Array()
var ie=document.all
for (i=0;i<slideimages.length;i++){
imageholder[i]=new Image()
imageholder[i].src=slideimages[i]
}

function gotoshow(){
if (newwindow)
window.open(slidelinks[whichlink])
else
window.location=slidelinks[whichlink]
}

//-->
</script>


Then put this in the <body> changing the name of the image, where it has "src=" to be your first image.


<a href="javascript:gotoshow()"><img src="image1.gif" name="slide" border=0 style="filter:blendTrans(duration=3)" width=97 height=100></a>

<script language="JavaScript1.1">
<!--

var whichlink=0
var whichimage=0
var blenddelay=(ie)? document.images.slide.filters[0].duration*1000 : 0
function slideit(){
if (!document.images) return
if (ie) document.images.slide.filters[0].apply()
document.images.slide.src=imageholder[whichimage].src
if (ie) document.images.slide.filters[0].play()
whichlink=whichimage
whichimage=(whichimage<slideimages.length-1)? whichimage+1 : 0
setTimeout("slideit()",slidespeed+blenddelay)
}
slideit()

</script>

Not sure if that is what you are looking for? You can the get a music file to play in the background if you like.

This works in IE -
