Help! My Code Works But Not In Wild Apricot

Reply Quote

I'm working on my company's website on Wild Apricot and am writing code for a rotating banner. I've tested the code and it works but when I bring it in Wild Apricot, my images won't rotate. Any advice?

<html>
<body>
<HEAD>
<script language="JavaScript1.1">
var image="";
var banners=0;
function cycle() {
if (++banners > 3) banners=1;
    loadbanners();
    document.banner1.src = image;
    window.setTimeout('cycle();',2000);
}
function loadbanners() {
   if (banners==1)
      {image="http://www.pittsburghsocialexchange.com/resources/test/1.jpg";}
   if (banners==2)
      {image="http://www.pittsburghsocialexchange.com/resources/test/2.jpg";}
   if (banners==3)
      {image="http://www.pittsburghsocialexchange.com/resources/test/3.jpg";}
}
//-->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript1.1">

</script>
<HEAD>
<Body
onLoad="window.setTimeout('cycle();',2000);(loadbanners());(urlswitch());"
<Body>
<Body>
<a href="http://www.pittsburghsocialexchange.com/Events/Networking" onclick="this.href=urlswitch()">
<img width="450" height="338" border="0" src="http://www.pittsburghsocialexchange.com/resources/test/1.jpg" name="banner1"></a>
<BODY>

Hello,

There are quite a few issues with your code - perhaps it may have worked outside of Wild Apricot, but the HTML is invalid so combined with other HTML on the page it won't work.

Also, I would recommend using AJAX or jQuery rather than straight JavaScript - you should find some good scripts on Google by searching "jQuey slideshow"

Thanks Matthieu. I'm going to use some jQuery I found called Slidesjs, available at Slidesjs.com. When I download it I get a .zip file with two folders inside (an examples and a source). In the Source folder there are two .js files and the Example folder contains various examples, each with their own css, img, js folders and an index.html file. I can easily edit the images and links in the index.html, but I'm not sure which files I should upload to Wild Apricot and how I can put this on my site. I'd appreciate any help. Sorry for being such novice.
