can someone tell me how to put slideshows on the same page?

[mela]

it seems quite stupid but i am building up my web site and i am stocked with this problem: i download this photoslider script and wanted to have two on the same page but they are interfering one each other..
now: i read that to avoid this i should change the names of the variables and those of the functions on the second script , but i do not know where to start from!
can anybody explain me in a simple way (i do not know java at all!) what i have to change and where precisely?
it would really help me and save me!!!!

here is the script:

[HTML]<table border="0" cellpadding="0">
<caption><strong>Kevin's pet dog</strong></caption>
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img src="http://www.javascriptsolutions.com/imagesOLD/Img002.jpg" width="400" height="264" name="photoslider"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%"><form method="POST" name="rotater">
<div align="center"><center><p>

<script language="JavaScript1.1">

/*
Photo Slider II- By Kevin Adams ([e-mail])

*/

var photos=new Array()
var text=new Array()
var which=0
var what=0

//Change the below variables to reference your own images. You may have as many images in the slider as you wish
photos[0]="http://www.javascriptsolutions.com/imagesOLD/Img002.jpg"
photos[1]="http://www.javascriptsolutions.com/imagesOLD/Img003.jpg"
photos[2]="http://www.javascriptsolutions.com/imagesOLD/Img004.jpg"
photos[3]="http://www.javascriptsolutions.com/imagesOLD/Img005.jpg"
photos[4]="http://www.javascriptsolutions.com/imagesOLD/ministix4.jpg"
photos[5]="http://www.javascriptsolutions.com/imagesOLD/ministix5.jpg"
photos[6]="http://www.javascriptsolutions.com/imagesOLD/ministix6.jpg"

//change coresponding description
text[0]="Libby watching another dog from the front porch"
text[1]="A calm moment. EXTREMELY RARE!"
text[2]="Curious as to what that flash was all about"
text[3]="Mad at Momma for taking pictures."
text[4]="Libby striking back!"
text[5]="They make messes and they lay in them."
text[6]="Libby catching a frisbee, Ministix following."

window.onload=new Function("document.rotater.description.value=text[0]")

function backward(){
if (which>0){
window.status=''
which--
document.images.photoslider.src=photos[which];
what--
document.rotater.description.value=text[what];
}
}

function forward(){
if (which<photos.length-1){
which++
document.images.photoslider.src=photos[which]
what++
document.rotater.description.value=text[what];
}
else window.status='End of gallery'
}

function type()
{
alert("This textbox will only display default comments")
}


</script>
<p><input type=text name="description" style="width:400px" size=50>

<p><input type="button" value="<<Back" name="B2"
onClick="backward()"> <input type="button" value="Next>>" name="B1"

You need a script that allows multiple instances in the same document, without having to edit anything. Link
