Simple slideshow script

[AJQS]

Need a basic slideshow script for my parents' website, all I'm after is one that dislays the thumbnails below the main image and has next.previous buttons. Javascript preferred but as long as it's simple and works I'm not bothered!

Suggest away!

Any jquery slider will work well, like the one on my site www.carbonangel.co.uk

Just google for jquery slider

jquery is a good free offering

Coin Slider is very good, and easy enough to configure too .. Based on jquery as well

So far none of these come close to working. This seems to be the closest, I've almsot managed to get it working on the site. I want to completely get rid of the damned annoying title bar but I can't without everything dying

Without looking at your code, I couldn't tell you why coin slider doesn't work.. Works fine for me

Post your code up?

They don't work because I'm no ta programmer, I just need a simple Script that will sit on my page with No external CSS or Java scripts (well actually scripts are fine as long as I can actually download them and host them with my files).

he one I linked too almost worked, but Dreamweaver threw a wobbly and wouldnt let me edi tany of the code in it so I couldn't set it up to work with my files. It refuses to load thumbnails too.

O don't really want to, but I;m thinking about loading an Iframe with a flickr photo set in a slideshow runing in it.

Right am now using this, with the scrip and CSS copied to my domain, and only the source image filesbeing changed, it still doesn't display right (here)!
Can anyone spot what's gone wrong? I'm about to throw something at this damned computer!

No idea... Code looks OK from a quick glance at both the sources (I didn't go line by line though!)

Have you tried loading all of the original images and text to see if that works?

On hard disk yes, it works except the thumbnails won't display, but the slideshow and styling functions spot on.

I'm going to have to relearn everything I forgot about Javascript and spends a few hours studying it I think.

Either that or relearn Flash and do it that way. I'd rather not go down the flash route though.

Sorted with this

So much less hassle than any of the other 'solutions'. Not massively customiseable but it's just the ticket for what I needed.

if something is working on your computer but not on your website a couple of things to check:

paths to files resolve correctly
hotlinking protection (i had an issue recently where hotlink settings were stopping my gallery from loading, even though it was all on the same domain)
