    here is the live site: U:\aap2\international\globalimmunizations1.html

     

    not sure if you have access to it though, it basically looks exactly like the post with the picture i showed you earlier, just larger---i also dont see anything related to a border within the code--i have just been making the pixel width larger and larger but that doesnt seem to do the trick...hmm

    that did not seem to help--now that i look at it, it seems to be cutting off some of the image as well...do you think it could be a problem with the template dimensions? i dont know though because the text extends further to the right than the image.

    I don't know. Unless you can put the page up somewhere live so I can see exactly what is going on I can't help any further with the minor issues. The issues will be caused by the code and css and as I cannot see them I cannot provide you with the answers you are looking for.

    Thanks--site should be live this week or next, so I can re-post then.  Otherwise I can show you the print-screen of what the site looks like now:

    I'm going to keep playing around with the border px size and see what I can do.

    update: I removed the border so its definitely not a problem with the border--just for some reason the image is being cut off

    If you can't sort it out between now and when you launch the site post back once the site is live and I'll take a look. It's something simple but I would need to see the page before I can detremine what it is. It seems to me its likely to do with the width of the slideshow <div>.

    thanks, will do.  yeah, i tried changing the height and widtth of the slideshow but that didn't work either.  im currently thinking it has something to do with the margin/overflow setting

    perhaps you know something about float vs. absolute positioning--this may be another suspect

    I know this is an old post, but still exactly what i wanted. I have followed instructions and can see all my images, but  I need it to be the background image of a div, so other divs or content ie a menu could be on top. can this be combined with css??

    thank you for any help at all.

    I don't think this particular solution provides for background images which are a slideshow BUT if you Google for something like 'background images to <div> as slideshow using jQuery' you will probably find something.

     

    I found something a while back but I didn't do enough testing to see what the results were.

     

    Might be as well to start a fresh thread asking for what it is you want as your post is getting buried in an old thread.

    ok, so i modified my header so it doesn't have to be the background anymore. the problem now and it is dual...the coding for linking the script files and the coding at the bottom for the script tag makes my navigation menu disappear completely. the second part of my problem is actually the menu in itself, it used to be just below the slideshow now it is at the bottom. but i've desperately played with my css and js and probably screwed something up there  too.

    so now, if i hide the code i mentionned above, of course the slideshow is disabled but the menu appears at the bottom, you can see the results at sample with code removed and with code included, Help pleeaase!  ;o)
