Curses on the inventor of a slideshow for making me want it....

[Neutron Jack]

Andy, or anyone who will help my fit-throwing, no HTML knowing self---:cry

Apparantly I picked up ivar's tutorial link to andy's thread for homepage slideshows --AFTER someone put a curse on it. I followed the instructions (as far as I can see) that andy posted, and the term that reflects what is happening would be "squat".

seriously, I know I'm doing something wrong, but damned if I can figure it out.:scratch
Also, much thanks for the help forwarded on my "red page" issue.

I was looking at baldy's adventure rider page (very nice)--will the code on andy's thread produce these results?--that is, as far as the image sizing rather than cropping? Also, I noticed in baldy's code the line:

script type="text/javascript">
if (isClass("homepage"))
loadSlideshow();
/script

What is the proper way to incorporate that into the code? I'm not much interested in Ivars "duplicate homepage" (no offense meant), and I only want it on my homepage where the bio photo normally lives--that is, I don't want to have it hidden but still running on gallery pages.

Any help would be appreciated- the head you keep from exploding may be my own. And I apologize for intruding on your time--I'm sure you have better things to do than hand hold a nuB

Also, what is the proper way to make a header banner resize to widescreens and normal screens without wrapping back on itself? I'm sure this has an answer posted somewhere--a link to the post would be sufficient help-- DC

For some reason, you had created a div called bioBox in your header, which is bad because there already is one and there can be only one.

Also, you had used loadslideshow(): instead of loadSlideshow();

Don't use the code you found on baldy's page, please.

It's fixed, and working :thumb

I really appreciate the help--this is like the shoemaker and the elves story! Go to bed broken, wake up working....

Thanks so much!

Thanks again
