does anyone have a random fading image javascript ?

grahamor

Hi,

Im looking for a script that contains images in an array and fades them into each other randomly.

I have been looking for one for a while and can only find random and fading in separate scripts.

i found one on dyn-web but when you put it onto a live web server it asks for a licence. Feckers !!

Thanks in advance.

Be honest with me now... did you really look??.... really???

"random fading javascript image" returned this for me in a google search

From http://www.jsmadeeasy.com which obviously got it from www.dynamicdrive.com

var slideshow_width='140px' //SET IMAGE WIDTH
var slideshow_height='225px' //SET IMAGE HEIGHT
var pause=3000 //SET PAUSE BETWEEN SLIDE (3000=3 seconds)

var fadeimages=new Array()
//SET 1) IMAGE PATHS, 2) optional link, 3), optional link target:
fadeimages[0]=["photo1.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[1]=["photo2.jpg", "http://www.google.com", ""] //image with link syntax
fadeimages[2]=["photo3.jpg", "http://www.javascriptkit.com", "_new"] //image with link and target syntax

Obviously this is not "random" do you want random images or random wait time? It should be easy enough for you to put a random image select in this...
