SLIDESHOW NOT SHOWING UP

I really need help. I'm trying to add a slideshow to my website and it's not working. I'm trying to use the html code, and it won't show up. I added it to the code editor first and when i try to see it, it's not there. Can somebody please help me???

Thanks in advance,

Re: SLIDESHOW NOT SHOWING UP

You need to upload all the images to your site.
You also need to use the correct image urls in
your slide show html.

If you images are being hosted at photobucket
then you must use your pb image tags
your slide show html.

Without a website url we canot checkout the problem.
Your site is not published yet or is it?

Re: SLIDESHOW NOT SHOWING UP

A slide show generally consist of a little bit more than just HTML. There is generally some Javascript code that does the actual image switching. But you have two things against you.

The first problem is your using the Website Wizard. You are correct to use the Code Editor window to insert the code, but the Wizard's editors do some odd things to code. Unless the code is written very carefully, the Wizard's editor will quickly disable the code. Something as simple as an imbedded comment is all it takes to render the code useless. Assuming that it was written carefully, and has a chance of working in the Wizard, you will probably not see it operating when you switch to the Visual Editor. Editors do not generally allow Javascript to work. You need to publish it and then view it through a preview, or with your URL in a browser, to know if anything is going to work.

The other thing against you is, you haven't given us enough information to help. You haven't provided a URL or told us where you got the script from. I can usually figure out where you got the code from, if I can see your problem page(s). But if we can't see your problem, we can't be of much help. Sometimes the fix is a little complicated, so some HTML/Javascript knowledge would be helpful.
