Slideshow Trouble

Aug 17, 2012 9:09 AM

I am designing a website for someone and having difficulty inserting a slideshow on the homepage. Using Dreamweaver CS3, the images I inserted into the designated div do not fill the div, leaving a white border around each image, even though the dimensions are correct.
If anyone can help me fix this issue I'd really appreciate it. All I'm looking for is a simple slideshow that fills the space its supposed to on the screen.

 

Below is the website:

Thank you!

    It looks like the slideshow you're putting in was created in Flash. Personally, I'd use something like jquery's slide shows instead of Flash. You'll be mobile compatible, the shows will load faster, and it will only take seconds to change the images.

     

    Here's one of several links to a bunch of options. Jquery is a java engine that's very easy to use and mostly open source (free).

    I agree. if you used a flash, then use jquery to finalize the design and use as a pre-home site.

    Thank you Rick for your advice. I did end up using a jquery slideshow. It was working fine until I made the slides into links, then at the end of the show rather than fade into the first slide again, the slide just changes, its like the fade mechanism is disabled for the last slide. Have you ever encountered anything like this and do you have any suggestions?
