2 image sliders on the same page and random order images

Hi All!

 

I have two questions. I am still pretty new to Javascript, and I am using the W3.css file. I am trying to accomplish two things that I cannot, and my colleagues cannot figure out.

 

I am taking code that I sourced off of the W3 website.

 

The two things that I am trying to do is to have two image sliders on the same page that run at the same time, and the second thing is to have the images be in a random order. The only javascript that is running is for the second image slider.

 

Any assistance would be wonderful!

 

I am attaching a .zip of the files.

 

Thank you in advance!

It sounds like you're re-using IDs or something like that, although I haven't downloaded your zip file, extracted everything, and looked for code. It would be better to just post the code here instead of a zip file. Every ID on a page needs to be unique though, 2 elements can't share one ID. My guess is that's your problem.

The trouble is, you are using duplicate function name calls

plusDivs(1)

showDivs(slideIndex);

showDivs(slideIndex += n);

 

So it runs the last duplicate functions, relating to 'myslides2' class name, slideshow, for quick fix/hack change function and function calling as

 

plusDivs2(1)

showDivs2(slideIndex);

showDivs2(slideIndex += n);

 

for functions related to 'mySlides2' slideshow only.

Less of botch up, uses non duplicate function, you just hve to make sure plusDivs 2nd parameter refers to correct slide show index ref, could automate this but haven't time at moment

To randomize images placed after

var slideIndex = 1;
var z = document.getElementsByClassName("slideshow");

                    var RandomImgsArray = [];
                    
                    //loop through each class slideshow container elements, and then each element with class myslides
                    for (i = 0; i < z.length; i++)
                    {
                        for (j = 0; j < z[i].getElementsByClassName("mySlides").length; j++) {
                            //add src of img element to array
                            RandomImgsArray[j] = z[i].getElementsByClassName("mySlides")[j].src;
                        }
                        //randomize array src values
                        RandomImgsArray.sort(function(a,  {
                            return 0.5 - Math.random();
                        });
                        //loop through randomize src array and overwrite current img src attribute value with randomized array value in current slideshow class container
                        for (j = 0; j < RandomImgsArray.length; j++) {
                            z[i].getElementsByClassName("mySlides")[j].src = RandomImgsArray[j];
                        }
                    }
