Javascript slide show - how to impliment in Actinic

[Duncan Rounding]

I think you are experiencing issues because the scripts etc expect the files to be in particular sub directories online. Actinic places all files in acatalog. If they need to be anywhere else you will have to FTP them up yourself to the required locations.

i am still building the website and have not uploaded anything yet. I only tried the preview store button to view it locally in my browser. Is that why its still blank, does the site need to be online ?

thanks

The files at least need to be in their required folders either on your server, or/and in DesignPreviewHTML and PreviewHTML. The other supporting files will need to be in the Site1 folder too.

For us to be able to diagnose problems it will be much easier if you're able to upload.

I'm probably the best person here at diagnosing problems and providing workarounds but am effectively blindfolded and working with one hand tied behind my back until there's something live to see.

I'd remove the word 'probably' from that sentence personally.

Get it uploaded, you need to tets it online and you need it online for is to see it anyway.

I have just put a slideshow on our site at www.natorigin.co.uk and am using JQuery Cycle Plugin.

Was fairly easy to get working the only real issue I have found is that the images load in a line down the screen behind the text before disappearing.

I have tried a solution for this but not sure if it has worked as I sometimes still see the images, but not always.

I have tried to correct by adding different class but not sure if I have added all the extra bits I should.

In style sheet have added:
.slideshow {

width: 700px;
height: 225px;
margin: 10px;
padding: 0;
z-index: 100
}

.slideshow img {
padding: 0px;
border: 0px solid #fff;
background-color: #fff;
width: 700px;
height: 225px;
top: 0;
left: 0
z-index: 100
display: none
overflow: hidden
}

.slideshow img.first {
padding: 0px;
border: 0px solid #fff;
background-color: #fff;
width: 700px;
height: 225px;
top: 0;
left: 0
z-index: 100
display: block
overflow: hidden
}

As a brochure fragment have added:
!!<<div class="slideshow">
