Hey everyone,
I tried using a w3schools’ multiple-slideshow code for a page I’m working on. It works fine with only two of them, but when you add more, things start breaking down. The third slideshow buttons control the second slideshow & the fourth / fifth don’t even show up on the page. I also added the little dots from another w3 slideshow, but they don’t work either.
The original code was for 2 slideshows - I tried altering it a bit, but my knowledge of JS is pretty limited so I’m sort of just shooting in the dark here. I added more “myslides” to the var slideID and also added more “showslides”, trying to extrapolate the pattern of the first two (#, #) but no luck so far.
I’d like to have one of these slideshows for each subsection of a blog entry. If anyone could help me out with this I’d really appreciate it. Here’s the code (sorry, couldn’t add images as a new user here so I had to take out the image tags):
