How do you make a slideshow in FrontPage that cycles pictures?

[Guest]

The slideshow option in FP only creates a thumbnail photo gallery. I want
something that cycles through a bunch of different pictures every so many
seconds. Thanks.

I know how to do that, I'm asking if there's an option in FP to do it. It's
for an older lady I know that will not want to go to the js route. Thanks for
replying though.

The old lady has no options, really. The choices are

1. Javascript to automatically cycle the images
2. Java to ditto (EW!)
3. Flash to ditto

HTML alone cannot do such things.

If she makes a page for each image with the image inserted it could be done with meta refresh tags.
Example:
image1.htm
image2.htm
image3.htm.

Then in the head section of image1.htm add
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="10; URL=image2.htm/">
in image2.htm add
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="10; URL=image3.htm/">

And so on. The last page would have a refresh back to image1.htm
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="10; URL=image1.htm/">

The number 10 is the number of seconds before the next page is displayed.

Good grief. What a nightmare.

Think about the browser's back arrow, and how confusing this would be....

If it was possible in FP Steve would have said so.

I didn't say it was the best way.

Right. You didn't say it was the worst way, either! 8)
