Hi,
I have a conveyor belt script i got from dynamic drive website. I can get the slide show to work fine apart from that even when i change the size of the slide show the images do not show correctly? One image is really small for example in the slide show frame an others are too large so you cannot see them all properly.

What am i doing wrong?

Here is the script
<script type="text/javascript">

I have replaced all the images with my own but dont know why they dont show correctly in the conveyour belt frame.
Thanks for your time
Darren

Can you post a link to a page where you are using the script?

Hi Larryd,
The page address is www.dazzlingmagic.co.uk.
As you can see the images are all different sizes in the conveyour belt frame. I want them all to be the same size and fit the frame.

Is it something to do with the original image size? Will i need to change the original image size and save them as a different size for the conveyour belt frame?

Thanks for your time
Darren

Yes it has to do with the size of the original pictures. If you want the slideshow to look similar to the one on Dynamic Drive you need to resize the pictures outside SS and apply the same hight to all of them (or at least keep it as close as possible). You'll find a useful program to do the resizing here.

Thanks Klimt, i already have irfanview so will use this the re-size and see if it works.

Darren

Hi,
I re sized the images to roughly all the same size and now the conveyour belt slide show works fine.

Thanks for your help.

Darren

Congratulation Darren, the site looks very nice .

Thanks Klimt, its not finished yet, still needs alot of work.

Does anybody know how to add a search box to a website? i want customers to be able to type in the name of a product in a search box and it brings up matches etc?

Thanks for your time
Darren

Bruceee's site is a good place to start looking for what you want to do.
