Book Flip Slideshow

nicole2008 · June 8th, 2008, 04:20 AM

I have added the script for a book flip slideshow. I added 12 pictures yet only 4 show and keep repeating. They are all in the same file and have all been uploaded yet only 4 pictures show.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks!

I have pasted the relevant script below:

Moved to the Javascript area.

Should this line:

Code:

width = 2*book image width +4 height = book image height+2

Have values instead of the words? Could you link to the page you got the script from?

Bocaj · June 8th, 2008, 07:22 PM

For anyone looking at this the script he's using can be found here...

Also can you post a link to the page your using the script on?

Also that line, is commented out...

Have you done what it says?

Quote:

/************************************************** ******
Create a div with transparent place holder in your html
<div id="Book" style="position:relative">
<img src="placeholder.gif" width="144" height="227">
</div>
width = 2*book image width +4 height = book image height+2

Insert onload in body tag
<body onload="ImageBook()">
************************************************** *******/

added the onload section to your body tag,

Placed this

Code:

    <div id="Book" style="position:relative">
        <img src="placeholder.gif" width="144" height="227">
    </div>

in the correct place

and correctly calculted the width and the height?

Thanks for all of the help.

It turned out that as a result of my efforts to get the script to work I had left two versions of it on the page (one with 4 pictures - the original version) and one with 12. Pretty dumb....

Once I erased the version with 4 pictures it worked.

Thanks again,
Nicole

Lol... it's always the simplest things
