I am working on a kiosk for a museum, we will be using firefox as the
browser, with windows, and a touch screen.
We'd like to create a slide show of a small portfolio when the visitors
click down to the lowest level of the collection.
For instance, after choosing Africa, then Sudan, they will choose what
they would like to look at: jewelry, tapestry, metals, etc. When they
choose tapestry, there will be groups of ten thumbnails. These are a
portfolio. If they want to see that group of thumbnails in detail, they
would hit the slide show feature. We'd like the following page to
scroll through the series of 10 images. The portfolio will create the
1-10 linking and next buttons.
What I'd like to do is hide the 1-10 and next button and use
setTimeOut or something similar to tell the browser to go to the next
page in the set every 5-10 seconds.
I'm open to any suggestions out there. 7 3059
Sounds like something that flash is ideally suited for.

Give the pictures files names like "picture_1. jpg" to "picture_10.jpg ". Then
give the <img> an id. Then have a function that gets the img with
getElementById( ), finds out what the src is, strips off the trailing
numeral, increments trailing numeral, sets src to the appropriate file name,
then if there are pictures left to show calls setTimeout() with a function
call to itself as one parameter and 5000 (milliseconds) as the second
parameter. (the picture dimensions have to be identical for this to work, as
width/height isn't updated, I believe - though you could write a function
that replaces the entire <img> tag)
Or do something similar with named HTML documents (possibly
server-generated, with query strings: myslideshow.htm ?picid=1) and setting
document.locati on.href.
Personally I hate slide shows with too long intervals. As everyone has their
own viewing rhythm, a "next" button might be a good idea.

Use the images collection instead. It should be quicker, it involves
typing and it's self-documenting. If you add a name attribute to the image
with the same value as the id, use of the images collection expands your
target audience to include older browsers, too.

(the picture dimensions have to be identical for this to work, as width/height isn't updated, I believe
If you set the width or height attributes explicitly, then yes, you'd
either have to update them along with the image, or make all of the images
the same size. If you don't set those attributes, the element will grow or
shrink to fit.
though you could write a function that replaces the entire <img> tag)
Why? Is there some reason, of which I'm not aware, where
img.width = x; // and .height where x is a number in pixels
won't work?

I wrote a slide show script two days ago, but the code was ugly and I
couldn't be bothered to test it properly, so I deleted it. It was fairly
versatile. Perhaps I should re-write it.

If you start out with an <img> with height/width attributes, then want to
replace the src with an image with different height/width, and don't want to
hard code the dimensions, you could replace the entire node and have the
browser figure out height/width as for an <img> without height/width.
But on reflection, there is removeAttribute ()/removeAttribute Node(). Or
perhaps you could simply set the <img> height/width to null?

That's what I implied:
"If you set the width or height attributes explicitly, then yes,
you'd [...] have to update them [...]"
In other words, if you leave the dimensions to be defined implicitly (by
the image itself), you wouldn't have to do anything. :)

here is a solution for your ten images with 5 sec interval:
<script type="text/javascript">
var image1=new Image()
image1.src="1.g if"
var image2=new Image()
image2.src="2.g if"
var image3=new Image()
image3.src="3.g if"
var image4=new Image()
image4.src="4.g if"
var image5=new Image()
image5.src="5.g if"
var image6=new Image()
image6.src="6.g if"
var image7=new Image()
image7.src="7.g if"
var image8=new Image()
image8.src="8.g if"
var image9=new Image()
image9.src="9.g if"
var image10=new Image()
image10.src="10 .gif"
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img src="1.gif" name="slide" >
<script type="text/javascript">
//variable that will increment through the images
var step=1
function slideit(){
//if browser does not support the image object, exit.
if (!document.imag es)
return
document.images .slide.src=eval ("image"+step+" .src")
if (step<10)
step++
else
step=1
}
var lock=false
var run
function show(){
if(lock==true){
lock=false;
window.clearInt erval(run);
}
else if (lock == false) {
lock = true;
run = setInterval("sl ideit()", 5000);
}
}
</script>
