slide show insertion using FrontPage 98

I would like to add a slide show presentation to my web site, http://www.noahsart.com so that the opening image would rotate several images. I'm not sure where to begin. Any help and direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Jack Lindsay

 

Thanks

Thanks Halo,
I shall look into your suggestions.

Halo, I just checked the route you suggested and discovered that FrontPage 98 does not seem to have an option for "slideshow". I shall pour over the lttchno.com site for further info. Thanks again.

Halo,
Your note sounds a little like me with Photo Shop Elements 2....which I have but haven't taken the time to learn it. I should pour through the book to see what it offers. Perhaps the answers to my needs have been sitting here all along. Wouldn't that be a joke!

QUOTE=Halo]Well Jack... I've been playing with some software ( Microsoft Digital Image Pro ) I was given to test out for a company I do some work for as for one I hadnt found time to mess with it and two I thought with some of these new packages have templates to make photo albums, cards, calendars etc etc..... well this one allows me to make a flip book and save it as a gif which you know are good for website animations.

Now to find you something free that will do the same..... OK GUYS/GIRLS any of you know of something that will help jack make an animated Gif from jpgs etc?

below is what I ended up with can be re-sized plus small enough in file size not to slow a website down the Jpgs these came from are fairly big.[/QUOTE]

 

Halo, I just checked Photo Shop Elements 2 and while it does provide a method for creating a slide show it remains in the PDF format and can only be viewed through Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0. I have to keep searching for a better method that can be incorporated into my web page format.

Noah,
AWESOME work by they way..

take a look here

Thanks, Kodo, for your suggestion to search http://dynamicdrive.com for a slideshow program. Many of them I would have liked to use but my images are not all exactly the same size so I had to use a harsher "flip" version. What I can't seem to figure out is how to center it on the page. I have tried <p align="center"> in several locations on the HTML coding and nothing seems to work. The show looks a little odd hugging the right side of the page. If you have a chance, please take a look at http://www.noahsart.com

But, all in all, it is starting to do what I want it to do....giving the first viewer a variety of images to interest them.

Thanks for all of your invaluable help.
Make it a great weekend.
Cheers, Jack Lindsay PS, your hotmail address doesn't seem to be working...."unknown user" and a returned message.

 

right above the <Script javascript 1.2> tag put <div align="center">

after the closing script tag </script> put </div>

Have you noticed that people get an error page when clicking on the pictures in the slide show?

 

Thanks Kodo and Halo for all of you valuable help. I have now resized all of the images that I want to use in the slide show so that they are the same size. This will give me more options to use other techniques. I have not settled on a slide show that I like yet. The "book" arrangement on www.dynamicdrive.com looked interesting but I couldn't get it to work in my trials. I'll be trying a fading image option next. Hope that it is better.
Kodo, I tried your suggestion for centering but for some reason the info. doesn't lock into the HTML coding. Although I "save" the changes the centering instructions don't remain. Seems odd. I'd still like to center which ever show is the final one.

Thanks again for all of your suggestions.

Jack,
I've got a neat applet on this site...is it something you would want to try out?

I used Anfy to create it http://www.anfyteam.com/

 

Thanks, Acejones, for your suggestion. I just completed adding a fade slide show to my site ( http://www.noahsart.com ) by using dynamicdrive.com. I can't seem to figure out how to center it on the page however. I've tried the suggestions from Kodo but the changes in the HTML coding just don't lock into place but disappear. Any suggestions?
Jack

 

instead of <p align="center"> just try <center> and then after the java script put in </center>

 

Halo, it is interesting in that nothing of the slide show appears in the "Normal View" of FP98.....not even blank spacing where it should appear. The only time it can be found is when viewing the HTML coding and the "Preview" options. It is a mystery, isn't it?
Jack

 

Success!!!

Hello Halo and Kodo,
Yes, the slide show is finally (!) centered. Solution: I created a three column table and placed the images centered in the middle column. Then changed the color of the borders of the table so that it would match the background and, consequently, the borders disappear. The result.....the slide show is now centered in the middle of the page. Take a look: http://www.noahsart.com
Thanks again for the great exchange of ideas.
Cheers, Jack
