Slideshow JS 1.5 Released

I just released the most recent version of Slideshow JS. Version 1.5 brings with it major code changes that improve overall performance. I received several emails asking for various features and I incorporated many of them. Additionally, I addressed all of the known CSS bugs that were found. Here’s a short overview of the new features that have been introduced…

Improved management of variable sized images
If your slideshow contains images of variable widths, all images will be centered in the slideshow container.

Manual control
You can now manually cycle the slideshow by clicking on the current image.

Image display limit
Slideshow JS can display however many images you specify and then stop.

Configurable transition speed
You can now update how fast the fading transition lasts while cycling images.

Pause control
If specified, the current slideshow can be paused by hovering your mouse over the currently active image.

Image titles
Slideshow JS will not display a title bar containing a title for each image as specified by you.

Custom stylesheets
The pause message and title bar are completely customizable via your own stylesheets.

To see more of the script and for more detailed information, visit the project’s website. As usual, send me an email or leave a comment regarding your thoughts on the script.

    Hi Tom,
    I find your site quite informative and you seem to be very informed and obviously quite generous. I’ll be looking more at your site as I have been going nuts trying to learn CSS by trying to duplicate your slideshow demo page. I’m slowly getting there, but there are a few things that amaze me as to how you were able to do them - things like the tag which give me slightly different results - possibly it is only the font that is a bit different.
    I wonder if you could send me the css files you used so I could peruse them and see what I am missing. I’m having a rough time in formatting some of the sections. And I do not want to change the htm file.
    Thanks in advance, Phil Jourdan
