TO EVERYBODY READING THIS THREAD:
I am trying to install a slideshow with a few images, with the slides automatically changing every few seconds, and with no 'start/stop' button. I tried to install Anything Slider, but this is what I got Pictures (This is a page I set up just for the slideshow.).

Anybody could help out? Please PM me. Thank you!

Edit: Any slider would be good (I don't necessarily need the "Anything Slider"). I would very much appreciate someone helping me install a slideshow.

Hi,

Try to use another plugin for your slideshow, try to use NEXTGEN, it was great, it allows you to have an option whether you want to make it thumbnail or slideshow, but in your case you prefer to have it slideshow, try to make search of it and install for you to try. i think it is better than you are using now, as is view the page, it is not working.

oh, i thought you were using wordpress, but im wrong, when i load again your page, i saw that it was an html file..
but then you can used lightbox for the slideshow of your images, maybe by this time im already correct.

  Thanks for your answer. Your second post is correct: I am not using WordPress. Could you point me to a specific site or direction that would give me exact description of what I need to do? Or, if you would possibly send me the code that needs to be installed in the html page and any css or js file that I could upload, and would make it work, I would be happy to pay a small amount for it. I just need something that changes the slides automatically at specified intervals, and I can specify the size of the lightbox or slider, and no navigation at all.

  Steve (or anybody else who might read this), would you be kind enough to help clarify something with this?
  
  I have been able to create the slideshow as the super basic demo shows here http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/basic.html (view source for code), but I would prefer it with the little more advanced version that uses the css and the js files, as shown here JQuery Cycle Plugin - Beginner Demos. However, I have not been able to get this version right.
  
  This is what I get (on my page):
  Pictures
  Please view source to see the code
  
  The css for my page:
  http://websitehaven.info/default.css
  
  and The js file:
  http://websitehaven.info/js/jquery.cycle.js I downloaded this js file from the site you gave me from this page:
  JQuery Cycle Plugin - Beginner Demos
  
  What's missing, or what else do I need to do?
  
  Thank you

The first thing you need to do is load the jQuery library. You can get it from Google. This line goes right above your cycle.js <script> line:
Code:
```
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
```
Then you need to tell the cycle plugin what to do. This goes in the <head> section after both js files are loaded:
Code:
```
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {  $('.picscontainer').cycle({
        fx:    'fade',
        pause:  1});
});
</script>
```
The above fades the photos, and pauses on mouseover.

  Thank you, Steve. I thought this part above was taken care of in the .js file I uploaded initially, but this explains it. Thank you for your help!
