Slideshow - Next / Previous Buttons Skipping Slides
Jun 1, 2011
I've been working on a Javascript slideshow and have it working except for one problem that when the "next" or "previous" button is clicked for the first time, it skips the following slide. As a bit of a background, my client wants the slideshow to load a random slide when the window is opened, and also play the slideshow in a random order. However, when the "next" or "previous" button is clicked, it is meant to go to the correct sequential slide. For example, if it randomly loaded on slide 5 it should go to slide 6 if "next" is clicked and slide 4 if "previous" is clicked.
If nothing is clicked it will just go to another random slide. Once a button is clicked the client wants the slideshow to stop. I have all of this working, except when the "next" or "previous" buttons are first clicked, one slide is skipped. After clicking the buttons for a second time, it works fine. For example, if it starts on 5 and the "next" button is clicked it goes to 7 instead of 6. However, if it is clicked again, it works fine. The same is true for the "previous" button, altough it does not go to the incorrect slide but takes two clicks to go to the previous, correct slide. You can see what I'm talking about here: [URL]
My code is below.
<script>
<!--
var SlideShowSpeed = 6000;
var CrossFadeDuration = 20;
var Picture = new Array();
var Description= new Array();
var Header= new Array(); .....
I found a great slideshow script i'd like to use @ Dynamic Drive. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm
It does everything i want, except allowing the user to navigate to the Previous slide and Next slide. Basically, i'm trying to emulate what MSN already has on their home page.
Anyway, tried for a bit to get this thing working but unfortunately i'm a super-newb so no luck. Here's a sample page. Code:
I've found many examples of creating slideshows using javascript all over the internet and these forums. However, I haven't found any that show how to create a slideshow and give each slide a different time interval between switching to the next one.
I'm changing my website over from a Flash based one to something that can be read on all devices. In doing so I've looked for ways to add a little motion to the site. I'm working with a friend who has been doing most of the site but here and there I like to get my hands dirty and try some things on my own. Unfortunately he doesn't know Javascript.
I wanted to have an animation window in the bottom corner of the page. Look at [url] to see what I came up with. I took a slider plugin for Wordpress and basically created a bunch of slides and entered them in to switch every .5s so that I could change how quickly they changed images by making some of them repeat the same slide 4 times for 2s, 2 times for 1s, etc. Though it's not pretty, it works. On Firefox everything looks great although it'd be nice to have fade in and out on each slide. On an iPad or IE it actually shows the flash between slides even when they're the same image. Quite frankly, it's ugly. Does anybody have any ideas?
I'm trying to get this to work in a Wordpress site on a window with dimensions of 450X230.
I am creating a slide show in Javascript. So far it is running smoothly, however instead of the slides just switching to the next slide I want them to fade into the next slide. Is this possible in Javascript?
I am using fred wu's slideshow lite and although i have 15+ slides the slideshow only cycles through the first 4 and then starts back at the beginning and after 4 slides starts over.
am i missing a setting somewhere to let slideshow lite know how many slides to cycle through?
I'm using this plugin because it came with the joomla template "Profile"...
I am a newbie in jquery and I really need to know this script. What I need is something like the tour header of [URL]... The one with fading slideshow and with number and next, previous arrow. I'm looking thru the net but I guess I'm not really pointing myself to the right way.
My jQuery cycle slideshow was working beautifully before I tried to implement previous / next nav based on the demo at [URL]. I broke it doing something dumb. I am using images instead of text links, but that should not be an issue.
I'm looking to make a list of products with 5 products per page. Therefore if there are, for example, 23 products, I want a page selector on the page that looks a bit like this:
Previous 1 2 3 4 5 Next
I will place this in as an include.
I don't seem to be able to make the previous and next buttons work though. I've tried to make it work using the following code... I'm probably doing something stupidly wrong.
i have pages titled "england_1.htm", "england_2.htm" etc... Code:
i got a video page, which has images in it, each image is a link to a different video, i want to make it so when 2 lines of images reached, there'll be a button named Next (or anything, doesn't matter) to lead to the Next page of images, note that i want only the part iwth the images to change while using those buttons, not the whole page,the images are built in this way :
I have an iFrame that will eventually have a set of images that you can scroll through using a previous and next button below them. Right now there are only two images. I had the next/previous javascript working when I had four placeholders, but now the client only wants two images up and when you are on the second image and hit next, it goes to a blank screen. Here's the iFrame of the images: [URL]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL]"> <html xmlns="[URL]"> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="nextPrevious.js"></script> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background-color: #000000; .....
The images stop at image 3; if I press next it doesn't loop. How can I make it continuously go round and round when I press next/previous? I'm new to JavaScript and I found this script online ( might be old ) and I just need to use it for a simple gallery where images switch as I press the navigation. My problem is that when I preview the design in my browser ( Safari & Firefox ) is doesn't work. Nothing happens, they are marked as links, but I just can't click them.

For instance I want to display some announcements from an external text file on a predefined box, like lets say 140 wide and height scalable according to text. The texts would be some announcements from me, a few words. I want the text justified and with previous / next link, if possible. And when they navigate to another page, they will get a random message in that box. There are news tickers on the net, but I just want something simple like this, no scrolling, fading, etc..
I am trying to display testimonials on my website in an iframe. This way I can utilize the scrolling feature if needed and keep the page from changing sizes due to the length of the testimonial. I can also change the testimonials order and content easily. I am trying to make a "next" and "previous" button that will sit on the main page (not in the iframe) and cycle through the testimonials. However I am having trouble with this as I am trying to use an array. This is my current code for the Next button. The idea is to check to see if the testimonial is on the last document. If so display the first testimonial in the array. "Else" change to the next testimonial in the array.
var myTests=new Array(); myTests[0]="test001.html"; myTests[1]="test002.html"; myTests[2]="test003.html"; var numTests = myTests.length; var curTests = 0 function nextTests() { if (curTest <= numTests) document.getElementById("testFrame").src=myTests(1); else document.getElementById("testFrame").src=myTests[0]; } Then I am using a simple button to call the function "onclick" <button type="button" onclick="nextTests()">next</button>
I'm trying to get a next/previous arrow to float over the right/left edges of a slideshow div. I'm using to absolutely positioned divs to contain the next/previous buttons but for whatever reason they refuse to display above the slideshow div. Is there any way to get controllers to float over the cycle container?
Here's my code and if you give it a try you won't see the floating next/previous buttons unless you change the 'top' values for #next_btn and #prev_btn in the CSS to be greater than the height of the image (change to 410 to see them in my example):
I have spent the last 6 hours working on this, and I am about to lose my sanity. I need your help very desparately. I want to create some radio buttons for building a computer for a class project. Basically, what I have now is the radio buttons in separate groups, and a function that calculates the total price of the items selected. But what I am finding impossible to get is this: I need to set it up such as that if you select a radio button in one group, it disables part of the second. What this means in my work, is that say I choose AM3 as the CPU socket, only AM3 motherboards and processors will be enabled, and the rest in these categories will be disabled.
I am trying to set it up in a way that when you first open the page, cpu, motherboard and ram groups all disabled, then based on your socket choice you get different options for motherboards and processors, and then based on your motherboard choice you get different choices for RAM.
I'm still a beginner to javaScript, but I'm trying to write a script for a simple image change using next and previous buttons. The following script works, except that the images do not rotate in the desired order. The script works as long as you don't switch from next to previous, which is when the wrong images are shown.
I have been using the JQuery Cycle plugin on my website and love it! It has so many options and seems customizable to do basically anything. My question is about the previous and next buttons. At the moment I am using next:'#next2, .pics img', prev:'#prev2', to make previous and next arrows underneath the image as well as use the image itself a "next" button. I would like to remove the arrows underneath the image and just use left and right halves of the image as a previous and next button. Previous being the left half and next being the right half of course. I've been searching for this being posted before and have not found any discussions on it. Also, the JQuery Slideviewer does what I'm trying to accomplish: JQuery Slideviewer Demo
Is there a way to incorporate this type of button in JQuery Cycle? It seems easy enough to make the image a next button I feel like dividing it between the two shouldn't be that much more difficult.
I spent a while figuring out how to get a Js slideshow to work on a website and then my client asked me to add a pause, play, back and forward button to it. I haven't had any luck trying to add one so I was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand.
Does anyone know how to disable a slide or skip one based on some dynamic piece of information? For example, I want to skip a particular slide based on the time of day.
I am having trouble with a simple image gallery with navigational buttons including "first", "next", "previous", and "last"; and making a drop-down archive menu.
1. For the most part, the image gallery works. The problem is that when a user clicks on "next", and then "prev", the last image is not displayed. On the other hand, if a user clicks "prev", and then "next" the last image is displayed(works normally).
2. The way I am displaying the last image, the function last(), is not efficient. It simply refreshes the page in order to display the last image.
Basic overview: The images follow a simple standard: page1, page2, page3,...page64; they are in a subfolder "img". The function changeImage() changes the image from the prev, to the next. The image gallery displays the last image in the gallery; when a user clicks on 'prev' it goes to the previous image, and go to the next image when clicked on 'next'. If the current image is the last image, and the user clicks on 'next', it goes to the very first image. Here is the code (in the
My guess is the code is not working properly due to the initial values of the counter.Last, is there a way to display the current image "myimage.src" using a dropdown menu with each option value as each image?I have done this with window. location, but this only redirects to the image location.
So Im trying to create a slideshow with thumbnails the user can scroll through and use to navigate the slideshow. I'm a big fan of cycle so I wanted to use that as my main slideshow component and was planning on using jcarousel for the pager. So far it works great in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, yet in IE the thumbnails are not loading. I'm guessing it has something to do with how the images in the pager are generated and then jcarousel just isnt proccessing that in IE but I 'm not sure. I feel like I'm very close to getting this slideshow to work, yet I need to figure out why it is failing in IE.
