Jquery slideshow

[justbringit85]

Here's my code, it's not working, not sure what I did wrong

<div id="slideshow" style="width:240px; height:200px; overflow:hidden;">
<img src="1.jpg" />
<img src="2.jpg" />
<img src="3.jpg" />
<img src="4.jpg" />
</div>
</div>
<br />
<button id="start">Start</button>
<button id="stop">Stop</button>
<script>

var slide;

function startShow()
{
slide=setInterval(function(){

$('#start').click(startShow() {
$('#slideshow').mouseenter();

$('#slideshow img:first').appendTo('#slideshow');

}); $('#slideshow').mouseleave(function() {
$('#slideshow').stop();

}); $('#slideshow').click(stopShow() {
$('#stop').stop();
});
},2000);
}

function stopShow()
{
clearInterval(slide);
}

</script>

I've made some progress, but still not there. My clearInterval isn't working, but when I comment it out, the rest of the code works fine.


<div id="slideshow" style="width:240px; height:200px; overflow:hidden;">
<img src="1.jpg" />
<img src="2.jpg" />
<img src="3.jpg" />
<img src="4.jpg" />
</div>


<script>

var slide

function startShow()

{
$('#slideshow').hover(

function() {

slide = setInterval(function(){
$('#slideshow img:first').appendTo('#slideshow');
}, 2000);

function() {
clearInterval(slide);
});

});
}

startShow();

Is it important for you to create the jQuery slideshow yourself or can you use a plugin? I use jQuery slideshow plugin, no programming needed and the images are hosted outside my website (so the images are loaded really fast). Maybe you should try it

Although the fastness of the loading time is an advantage, there is also a huge disadvantage and that is that you're dependent on the other website. If that website encounters errors, going down for maintenance etc, your images won't load as well.
