Basically, what I’m after is a simple image fader to dissolve from one image to another.

The story is that I inherited the site from another company and my client didn’t want anything to do with them anymore. Which is a problem because the previous company built the original slideshow using a Flash plugin from slideshowpro.net and I don’t have the credentials to login and change the images. I’m not a fan of having Flash slideshows anyway, why would you bother when JavaScript does it better with no need for a browser plugin… anyway. I’m a kind of “web designer” who dabbles in coding so I get a bit lost with you guys who actually know what you are doing!

I think though that Bloke is on the right track that jQuery is running also and is causing conflicts. But Bloke, you lost me with how to actually use that noConflict thing!??

Here is an example of what I want it to look like:

I guess there is an obvious problem I have that I’m using someone else’s methods and I have no idea what they have done and don’t want to call them to ask (they charged the client a lot of money for a 10 min phone call from me….)

Thanks for all your help everyone by the way :)

Greetings, me again….

One last effort to get this to work…. I tried the txptips that was <a href=“http://txptips.com/simple-image-slideshow-using-jquery-and-native-txp-tags”>posted</a> but to no avail. I followed the instructions carefully but still no joy. There is an error that says $cycle is not a function.

Can I ask one last time how I can get this to work? If I can’t get it going I’m giving up on it. I also plan to rebuild the site myself later.

Hi

Your slide show needs to be in a div with class="slideshow". Also you are not calling an image category (or you just have one image in that category). Can you post the code you are using?
