Is there a way to switch images at a specificed interval without using
flash? I have a page that has a photo in the center and I'd like to to
cycle through 10 other photos every 5 seconds (without using
rollovers). Can this be done with javascript or CSS? If so, I'd
appreciate it if someone had a page with instructions I could
reference. Thanks

Don't know about CSS but there are many ways to do it. This page includes a
few using JavaScript slide shows:

If you have a hi-speed connection, go to:
http://www.neredbojias.com/
....and check out the slideshow. Any number of images, random display, no
repeats per cycle. Image-completion check except in Gecko (because their
javascript is demented.) Javascript.
I disabled the ss on dial-up 'cause the images are high quality but not
quite worth the prolonged loading-time.

I have a simple example using JavaScript you are welcome to copy
http://www.tidraso.co.uk/photos/k5zv6x84/
Not tested on IE. The "Slide Show" button goes through the images at 5
second intervals.

Slide shows have been very popular over the years, and there have been
a huge number of variations. You have been given a few examples by
others. Go to http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/index.html to
see about 18 other examples. These are free to copy and use so long as
you leave credit in the code - the owner of the site can get a little
testy if you remove credit and he finds out about it. Most have been
updated to work on recent IE, Opera, and Mozilla family browsers such
as Firefox. There are also demos of most so you can see if you like
the effect.

Why without Flash? It would probably be the best solution, I know it
would give you the most options.

http://www.cryer.co.uk/resources/javascript/script12slidesho w.htm has proven
to be quite popular, but as you know from the response of others there are
no shortage of javascript slide shows.
Flash probably is a better way of going, because it will work even if the
visitor has JavaScript turned off. I'm currently working on a Flash
equivalent to the above link, but its not yet ready for public release.

Where is this slideshow? Cannot find the link in your menu. Curious of
how your are ticking off displayed images that Gecko cannot handle it...

As to the "bucks," dilemma, there has been a sconce of relief in that
direction: http://www.openlaszlo.org/
These animations do not appear any faster downloading for the poor
visitor than any other flash animation, however. For a plain slide show
with pauses, I still prefer javascript backed up by a

Huh? Don't follow that last line at all. Sure you're not on a cached

The slideshow link won't show w/o j/s and hi-speed.

Oh, okay, apparently you manually navigated to the ss page and are

Poorly worded vernacular. TRANS: How is your script marking images as
'displayed' as it cycles through the list?

Yes I do not have broadband, just wanted to check your script. How are
you testing my connection? Timing an image load then forking to direct

Er, watch what you do with my cookies...
Yeah, image-timing. So far in all my, uh, "inexhaustive tests", no box has
failed to distinguish between dialup and min cable speeds (~2mbps). Low-
to-mid dsl probably is the back-breaker although I haven't been able to
investigate it due to lack of resources (money and dsls).
Re. your prev mess, the images are put in an array. The original array is
cloned and the clone trimmed ("spliced", I believe,) as each image is
displayed. At zero length, a new clone is made and the process repeats,
though the choices are random each time.
Btw, with all your money, how come you don't have broadband? Live a
little, don't be so cheap!

All my money! Hee hee. I wish I could, not an option here. This is the

Sounds like it.
I resisted for a long time, too. The local cable company kept advertising
packages and internet-only "deals" at $44.95 (~4mbps) and $59.95 (~7mbps).
I wasn't willing to spend that much. Finally, I got another flyer and
called them. The first thing the guy offered was for $29.95, not dsl, and
I took it - didn't even want to hear the rest. Okay, so I can't watch dvd-
quality porno clips on the net - big deal. 2mbps is a helluva lot better
than 56kbps, and I am quite happy (-except with the banshee from Sydney.)

Ooh yesssss! They've dropped the price form $849 setup to only $449!,
plus $79 per month...a bit steep for a poor starving artist.
Additionally is asynchronous downloading nice but upload not much better
than my dialup. Number of friends have gotten it around here...uptime
hasn't been too impressive.

Well, it is not cheap, that is true. You need a corporate client
with some bucckeroos to make it worthwhile. Just a thought for
you: you may be able to pick up some corporate work for printing
and offer to supply your artwork via server; these days, everyone
is rushing to China to get things printed. It is a great
convenience for the printer, wherever they are, to have access to
artwork and the pics online. No need to burn to CD and post, also
great if you realise a mistake has been made or the company or
printer asks for "after last minute" changes! But one does need
reliable and reasonable upload speed, you are right to mention
this bottleneck.
The other thing that might make it economical for you is that you
can receive biggish pics and material from clients to do your
work, either for artwork or websites; for the former, it is
obvious, for the latter, it saves having to keep insisting that
big pics are not needed for website and please send only...

Alas, such is the price of a rustic existence.
When I was in Paro, the steep mountains made even satellite impossible.
Sure, we tried to convince NASA to orbit a geo-stationary repeater above
The Land of the Thunder Dragon, but they said, "No way, Bhu Bhu."
Well, at least you have all your ducks, gooses, and Ibizan hounds to yak
about. Generally speaking, though, I thank God I'm a country boy no mo'.

Funny you should say, we use to have milk goats when the kids were
little. Self-employed is bad enough but dairy farming is insane. Twice a

Are your neighbors really that ugly?
Anyway, I know what you mean by the "schlep"ping part. When I was a kid I
used to schlep thru 7 miles or more of rain, snow, sleet, and hail on many
a school day! Made it a bite to ditch, especially since the school was
only a block away.
