Displaying images on a timed basis on a web page

**hazzakenya** · Jul 12, 2012, 22:24

I used the code shown below to display images on a timed basis in the same place on my web page.
It waorked fine before, but has since started to display the images one after the other. This messes up
the rest of the web page.

Why are images no longer displayed as a slideshow?

Please help.

<t:seq repeatCount="indefinite">
<t:par>
<img class="time" begin="0" dur="5" timeAction="display" src="lotus01.jpg"
/>
<p align="center">
</t:par>
<t:par>
<img class="time" dur="5" timeAction="display" src="lotus02.jpg"
/>
<p align="center">
</t:par>

This is not an asp issue, but ..

check if you have anything like :

<?IMPORT namespace="t" implementation="#default#time2">

in your page. If not, you should.

I recently upgraded Explorer to v9, could that have caused it?

That's it .

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx

it says :

This topic documents a feature of HTML+TIME 2.0, which is obsolete as of Windows Internet Explorer 9.

I appreciate your help sir!

Now, how can I get Explorer 9 to display images as I want them to be? Any ideas?
Most people will have upgraded their Explorer, so I need to find a solution...

Sorry, no idea.

but using jquery would not be too complicated...

check this:

there are many other jquery eamples on the web.

There are numerous ways to do this, but IMO the best is not to use images, but elements with images in. This way they become more versatile in the future. And also, you'll need javascript to change the images. For that, you'll need a noscript alternative.

so....

Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
*{border:0;padding:0;margin:0;}
ul,li{display:block;position:relative;width:448px;height:336px;float:left;}
li{background:gold;}
ul.tabs{height:32px;}
ul.tabs li{width:32px;height:32px;float:left;}
.container1{width:448px;height:336px;float:left;overflow:hidden;font-size:336px;}
.container1 ul{width:2250px;-webkit-transition:left 1s;}
.container2{display:block;width:224px;height:168px;float:left;overflow:hidden;font-size:168px;}
.container2 ul{display:block;width:224px;height:1008px;-webkit-transition:top 1s;}
.container2 li{width:224px;height:168px;clear:both;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function dgebi(s){
 return document.getElementById(s);
}
function scrollAnchor(obj){
 if(obj.indexOf("#")>-1){
  a=obj.split("#");
  obj=a[1];
 }
 if(obj_id=dgebi(obj)){
  if((dgebi(obj).parentNode.id=="targets")||(dgebi(obj).parentNode.className.indexOf("targets")>-1)){
   dgebi(obj).parentNode.scrollTop=parseFloat(obj_id.offsetTop);
   dgebi(obj).parentNode.scrollLeft=parseFloat(obj_id.offsetLeft);
  } else if((dgebi(obj).parentNode.parentNode.id=="targets")||(dgebi(obj).parentNode.parentNode.className.indexOf("targets")>-1)){
   dgebi(obj).parentNode.style.top=-parseFloat(obj_id.offsetTop)+"px"
   dgebi(obj).parentNode.style.left=-parseFloat(obj_id.offsetLeft)+"px"
  } else {
   dgebi(obj).parentNode.scrollTop=parseFloat(obj_id.offsetTop);
   dgebi(obj).parentNode.scrollLeft=parseFloat(obj_id.offsetLeft);
  }
 }
}
window.onload=function(){
 a=document.getElementsByTagName("a");
 for(i=0;i<a.length;i++){
  a[i].onclick=function(){
   scrollAnchor(this.href);
   return false;
  }
 }
 var current_image=0;
 setInterval(function(){
  current_image++
  scrollAnchor("img"+current_image);
  if(current_image>10) current_image=0;
 },3000);
 
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div style="position:relative;margin:64px;width:448px">
<ul class="tabs">
<%
for i=1 to 10
 response.write "<li><a href=""/scroller/index.asp#img" & i & """ title=""image number " & i & """>" & i & "</a></li>" & vbcrlf
next
%></ul>
<div class="container1 targets">
<ul><%
for i=1 to 5
 response.write "<li id=""img" & i & """>" & i & "</li>" & vbcrlf
next
%></ul>
</div>
<div class="container2 targets">
<ul><%
for i=6 to 10
 response.write "<li id=""img" & i & """>" & i & "</li>" & vbcrlf
next
%></ul>
</body>

It'll need some tweaking on the css and javascript, but you'll understand what it's doing. It loads all the areas as html, so you've no need to preload images. It also works without javascript and is enhanced with javascript and css transitions, but only webkit. Add others if you wish.

Edit: Sorry, but left the index.asp in. Trying to force myself to learn more or .NET so only .aspx is default! You'll need to tweak the address, or put it in a folder called scroller as a file name index.asp.....
