Hi, I need help creating a news slide show type of thing that when you press the "next" or "previous" buttons it loads another image that's click able or has text with it on the same page. Such ass msn.com or yahoo.com's news box. How can I do that??
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks.Please provide additional info. It seems like youve never developed anything. Is this true? What software will you be using? I could suggest numerous things but it wouldnt help unless i know what level your at. Please repost and i will tell you the simplest solution.I thank you for your reply, I know Basic coding, The software I use is Office Publisher 2007 and the basic ms notpad... I am about to start college on web developing in 6 months.
I hope this helps.
thanks in advanced.Ok. For beginners, i recommend doing something extremely primitive. Get Dreamweaver 8

using Azureus or another torrent program

And make a single html page. Name it page1.htm. Put in a table with 2 rows, make the table 100%. In the top row, put your picture. In the bottom row put a forward button. Now make another page w/ the same layout (you can literally copy the table). Replace the pic with the new one and name it page2.htm Now click on the next button from page1.htm and change the url to page2.htm.

This is the basic setup, pm if you have anyquestions.Put in a table with 2 rows, make the table 100%

Why get into a bad habit to begin with? Tables are meant to display tabular data, and a photo and caption is hardly tabular.
On the contrary, you'd probably be better off using DIVs that you can style. Either place both your image and caption inside of a single div, or put each in a separate one.

Either way, the most basic way to accomplish what you're after is to create a separate html page for each photo/caption combination. Then your prev/next buttons are merely links to the previous and next pages in the sequence.

Once you get a bit more comfortable with the code, you can change it to use a single page and change the image and caption on the fly using javascripts, php, or a variety of other technologies.

Oh, and dump publisher ASAP. Notepad is just fine- if you want something a little more frilly, Edit Pad Pro & HTML Kit are popular choices.Why get into a bad habit to begin with? Tables are meant to display tabular data, and a photo and caption is hardly tabular.

I know thats the better suggestion, but hes like really really new. So if you can describe css to him, then perfect.
