It works fine for Firefox and IE form 6 to 8. I found my error.

Hy, the script is great, just what I was looking for.
I test it in firefox and IE6 and was perfect but when I test it with IE8 I get the image cut before the fade effect, then change the image, load the new one and then shows the new image complete.

Hi Tom, I too have found myself in the same situation many times. You need something really simple but you can’t find. I also ended up writing my own scripts.

You can use the $$( ) for prototype to load all images from classed-”fade-box” divs:

// set the starting image.
var i = 0;

// The array of div names which will hold the images.
var image_slide;

// The number of images in the array.
var NumOfImages = 0;

// The time to wait before moving to the next image. Set to 3 seconds by default.
var wait = 3000;

// The Fade Function
function SwapImage(x,y) {
$(image_slide[x]).appear({ duration: 1.0 });
$(image_slide[y]).fade({duration: 1.0});
}

// the onload event handler that starts the fading.
function StartSlideShow() {

var fadeboxes = $$(“.fade-box”);
NumOfImages = fadeboxes.length;
image_slide = new Array(fadeboxes.length);

for (var j=0; j < fadeboxes.length; j++) {
image_slide[j] = fadeboxes[j].id;
}

play = setInterval(‘Play()’,wait);
$(‘PlayButton’).hide();
$(‘PauseButton’).appear({ duration: 0});

}

It’s PNG support in IE6 – sorry about that!

Sure – what do you mean by PNG support!?

Anything along these lines:

Oh BTW!
If you are still playing around with it, someone asked me recently to create PNG support for it. But to be honest I simply haven’t got the time to do it right now. Anyone up for the challenge?

Hahaha this is class! I’m finally famous!
I love the note on the js file (plagerising!)!

I don’t code all day anymore, stopped doing that a long time ago as my code probably shows! So it’s great to see someone take it and improve it.

Thanks for the menion Jimbo – I’m honoured!
