Howdy Doody...

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

Im trying to insert gif images (perhaps even a roll-over) 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!

If you think you might be able to help but require more info.. Please let me know!

The code can be seen here-

My website with ugly buttons can be seen here-

Thanks in advance

Use a better slideshow code that, besides other things, does not restrict you in creation of your own controls:

Thanks Vlady...

Im really impressed with that Slide Show... I have a couple of questions though.
1/ Can it automatically scroll back to slide 1 after the final slide? 2/ Does it load sequentially so that the first image can be viewed whilst the others are being loaded?

If so... I think I may go down the path you have suggested...

Cheers,
Soren

Slideshow has a "loop" option that governs this behaviour. When set to true, the slide show go to first slide from last and vice versa

2/ Does it load sequentially so that the first image can be viewed whilst the others are being loaded?
The slideshow works with existing content - main feature that makes content accessible when JS is disabled or not available. The slideshow is initialized using the body onload event. Most browsers will issue the event before all images are finished loading, but you would have to test and see how it behaves. The evaluation version is available for download.
