DarkxPunk Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hey everyone! Now I know, if you search on the web you can find 101+ tutorials, and prebuilt slideshow JSs. The problems I have with these all are simple. They are targeted towards either A: Complete JS idiots who want something done for them -or- B: Absolute JS pros The tutorials are not targeted at the amateur JSer like myself They are not simple to manage/customize (At least most I have found) Now first I searched on these forums for a Slideshow JS thread to maybe learn with someone. Sadly it does not exist...so lets make it happen! Here is my proposal, we as the W3Schools Forum community make a Slideshow JS which follows these characteristics: Is not compiled, you must go through the tutorial to learn how to make it (Great for amateur JSers like myself) Is a tutorial, made for amateur JSers (No overly complicated libraries and jQuery stuff) Is completely customizable through CSS (Thats one thing I hate about most Slideshow JS on the web, they are ugly and complicated to customize) Is cross-browser compatible (Including IE6 if able) Must have a slide transition hence 'slide'show Is built step by step by the community here! (Characteristics will be updated as needed) So whose with me? Now I will not start the script because honestly I have no idea where to start, I really am a amateur JSer. Lets see who starts. *P.S. I will update this post as this thread progresses and will cite where needed.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Well, I ended up with a simple slideshow in the other thread. Actually several slideshows have been posted recently http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=44146http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=43766http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=42971 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkxPunk Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Wow thanks. I searched slideshow and slide show in the search field and found nothing. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 This example looks pretty straightforward... http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/12218/Web-Based-Image-Slideshow-using-JavaScript Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The search doesn't work on this forum, you need to use Google to search just this site, e.g.: http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=slideshow+site:w3schools.invisionzone.com&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compiled? Do you mean compressed / obfuscated? I would not mind a slight transition effect as long as it is quick and not distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I would not mind a slight transition effect as long as it is quick and not distracting.Sounds like optional and variable transitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Too many iphone imitators -- some people even want the image to bounce to a stop like a basketball. No thanks. A title and description field above or below the photo would be good. Some displayed EXIF data would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
