I’m building a site in PHP and have javascript code for a ‘fadeshow’ (slideshow with fades). I’m trying to test it out and it’s not showing up on my site when I load it. I previously used a javascript ‘slideshow’ that worked fine, it just didn’t have the nice fade that I was looking for so I substituted this in. The fadeshow box and images should be 1000px wide and 200 px high (which is in my code as well, just pointing out for clarification).
Here’s the code:
My index.php:
<body>
<?php
include 'header.inc.php';
?>
<div align="center">
<table width="1000">
<tr>
<div id="javaphotos">
<script type="text/javascript" src="fadeshow.js">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 1000, 200, 0, 3000, 1)
</script>
<!--Here's the Javascript code that DID work with the slideshow I had:
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="js/slideshow.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
End slideshow code -->
</div>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div id="body_box">
<!--Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor
incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.--> </div>
</td>
<td>
<div id="right-bar"><!--Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. --></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<?php
include 'footer.inc.php';
?>
Here’s the .js file for the fadeshow (this is code that I basically copied and pasted and am using example PNG files for now just until it gets running):
var fadeimages=new Array()
//SET IMAGE PATHS. Extend or contract array as needed
fadeimages[0]=["slideshow/purplebackground.png", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[1]=["slideshow/redslideshow.png", "http://www.funflies.com", ""] //image with link syntax
fadeimages[2]=["slideshow/yellowbackground.png", "http://www.javascriptkit.com", "_new"] //image with link and target syntax

Any ideas of where to start looking to fix this problem? Thanks.
I suggest that you use jquery
you can use the function http://api.jquery.com/fadeIn/
or you can even install a library there plenty of them
here is a suggestion
http://www.pikachoose.com/
does that solve your problem?
