Barackslideshow (devthought)

[Hooch]

Hello..I'm not sure this is in the right spot so please forgive me if it is.But I found a nice image slider atLinkyI'm trying to edit it for my site but I have no idea where the following line goes.

window.addEvent('domready', function(){	new BarackSlideshow('menu', 'pictures', 'loading', {transition: 'slide-left', auto: true});});

If you browse to that link above you see the only instruction for that code is...BarackSlideshow is initialized as follows:Any idea where it would go???I tried putting it in the header, but no go.Thanks for your time

It can really go anywhere, you can put it in the head in a script block or in the body in a script block. I don't think that all browsers implement window.addEvent though, some use window.attachEvent.

I wasn't aware that there was an "addEvent" function implemented in browsers. I have a custom function with that name for my events.

[justsomeguy]

That's right, it's either addEventListener or attachEvent. The code might have added an addEvent method to the window object though. That looks like it uses Mootools.

It's using mootools.So where would this go then??

[justsomeguy]

It can go anywhere as long as the window.addEvent method is defined when that code runs. The site you linked to has files for download, I assume you downloaded the code for the slideshow right? That might have installation instructions or more information in it. You should also be using something like Firebug or something where you can check for Javascript errors.
