Building a web site advice please.

[ericmark]

I have new friend with a private wood who wants pictures taking to show what he is doing on the web. He was using a program called svbuilder which produced a scrollable line of thumbnail images and clicking on one would give a larger image.

However this still left a lot of unused space around the pictures and only showed one picture at a time.

What I wanted is two pictures with rap around text shown is sequence with some used control over the speed.

After reading many web sites I found how to produce a slider and write some javascript which together with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) made quite a nice page when viewed with Fire Fox and I was quite proud of the results.

However then the bomb shell it did not work with Internet Explorer (IE) and I was gutted.

Had to remove slider speed control and spend many hours working out just what the top line must say for CSS to work.

Even now only tested with two browsers. Site at http://gw7mgw.freeiz.com/Coed-Nant-Gain/CNG01.html any ideas how to ensure the site works with all the different browsers without having them all installed on my PC?

This http://gw7mgw.freeiz.com/Coed-Nant-Gain/CNG20.html is an example of the slider used. Still have not removed it from all pages. Please any ideas.

I'm not entirely sure that I can help with your issue, however heres a fantastic slider option that is incredibly easy to customise and use - http://slidesjs.com/

It looks great and can be customised really easily, you can set it to auto play etc, stop playing when the mouse is on it, manually click through photos etc.

Really simple to set up and may do what you are after, apologies if it doesn't, just ignore me

my advice is that your website needs a lot of work, more than just the slideshows!

the colours, the layout, everything looks very dated, and it's incredibly difficult to find what i'm looking for, it's just not good web design

I can help you make your slider work in all browsers (including internet explorer) but I think your entire website needs to be built up from scratch, it would be too noneffective to go through your entire code and change it so that it works in all browsers

unless you want to spend hours and hours learning CSS i'd call in a professional, for a relatively small cost, the time you'll save being frustrated trying to learn CSS is completely priceless imo

I would also agree with mrjames, but I didn't want to be *too* critical and full on straight away.

What you are trying to achieve is very simple and can be done quite easily in a nice clean and minimal style.
