Having a picture dissolve or fade into another

[Norm75]

I am using FP2002 but not very proficient as yet. I would like to have 4-5
jpeg pictures in a web header dissolve or fade into each other. Either have
one picture fade to another or have 2 or 3 pix along the top fade into 2 or 3
other pictures.

Is it possible with FP? How would I do this? Do the FP extensions need to be
on the server for this action?

Your help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Norm.

You could do that with JavaScript, and it does not require the FrontPage
Server Extensions. Here's a script: JS SlideShow Script II

Thanks very much Kathleen. I'll sure give it a try - looks like the very
thing I need. Great that the extensions are not needed.

Kathleen - the coding works beautifully after I learned more about it and did
some studying about code. Thanks again.

One more question - I inserted the code as instructed and I have a set of
pictures in my trial that are in the 'slide show'. In the header - which is a
table - I placed the pictures. Now I tried to have a second set of pictures
run along side the first. To do this I copied the code again and, obviously,
changed the image files for another set of pictures. However, the second set
works but the first disappears - I wondered if they were underneath the
second but does not appear to be so.

Ultimately, my plan with Photoshop is to have the actual pictures that I
will use set up with very fuzzy edges and have a second set partially overlap
but run separately. I must be doing something wrong in simply copying the
code - the latter interferes with the first.

Can you give me some guidance, please?

Norm.

Hi Norm:
After you've made a copy of the code, you need to make everything in the
copy unique and different from the original; parameters, function name, etc.
and add the second function to the body onload statement.

Thanks very much. Didn't think of that but it sure makes good sense.

Hi Kathleen,

On my FP preview, the 'slide show' of 3-4 pictures is working well. However,
when I FTP to my little test site, only 1 picture shows up then goes blank as
I guess the others are scrolling through - invisible - and back to the first
one. I suppose the FTP is not the best way to upload?

However, on the test site, there are no FP extensions. So if I try to
publish in the normal way with FP, it comes back in the usual way and says I
can't go any farther because there are no extensions. I understand the server
host can't/won't put the extensions on. I know that I am working right with
the code but is there a way around so I can publish/FTP to a website?

Many thanks. Norm.
