It fucked up any indeas why?

[johneva]

In what way has it gone wrong?

I have just made a page using that script and it works fine.

Though you do need to adjust the table size and slideshow size to fit the pics you want to use.

Is that the problem you have had?

I have just noticed the link in your message and have took a look at your site.

You have used the second script not the first one.

But anyways I have took a look at your coding and although it is very messy and hard to read I have found the problem.

You have entered the new names for the images but just before that bit of the script there is a bit for the image to start with you just need to change that too.

Your code still has this.
<img src="cart.gif" name="show">

You want it to be.

I just found out that the host I use does not allow non paying members to use javascript which is fucked up so I am going to have a page that has a link to both of the images on it but thanks for the help all the same I will more than likely use it in the future.

Just my opinion but at the min you have two sets of inline style in your coding one covering links and one covering scrollbar.
You could turn them both into one to save a little coding.
Also you could put them all in an external style sheet which is the best way I find, as all pages are linked to the same external file.

When you do this you should also go though and remove all them font tags and put the styles in your external Style Sheet. Same for bgcolor and any other styles.

Also your not using the alt attribute in your img tags and you using a full URL for your image source when you only need the folder and file names.
Looking at the coding I take it your using Dreamweaver cos it is putting the alt attribute in but it just has no value.

I also find Dreamweaver over uses center you can cut down on the amount of coding by going though and sorting it. You could even put this in your styles sheet cutting down on more coding.

You may think but what is the point it works ok now, well using external style sheets cut down on coding making it easyer when you need to go though it to find problems and it cut down download times. Also it helps with your search engine rank too.
